About this title

Synopsis

This book lifts the lid on the unsavoury reality of our current food system including horsemeat in processed beef products, the unsustainable movement of food round the globe, and how supermarket shopping generates massive waste. It’s an indictment of a food system that is out of control.

But this is also a hopeful book as it describes the local food movement in Scotland and how demands for change are growing in strength to re-capture control of the food system. It also shows how individuals can take simple steps to switch to more sustainable and healthy eating and evaluates what the Scottish Government is doing to address these profoundly important issues.
