DIET for a Large Planet: Industrial Britain, Food Systems & World Ecology (Book) |
| مستخلص: |
"Diet for a Large Planet: Industrial Britain, Food Systems, and World Ecology" by Chris Otter explores the origins of contemporary food systems and their impact on global ecology and human health. Otter argues that these systems, which prioritize cheap food imports, have led to ecological damage, violence against animals, and the rise of metabolic disorders. The book traces the roots of these systems to nineteenth-century British industrialization and the prevailing "large-planet philosophy" that viewed the Earth as a source of fuel and capital investment. Otter examines the nutrition transition that occurred in Britain during this time and the structural violence inherent in the system. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical and ecological context of food system infrastructures and raises important questions about the cost of cheap food.
