內容簡介

內容簡介 「沒有其他作者的書是我更期待的。」 ——比爾·蓋茲在這本充滿雄心壯志、打破神話的書中，領先的科學家兼國際暢銷書作者瓦茨拉夫·斯米爾 (Vaclav Smil) 探討了當今世界面臨的許多緊迫問題：為什麼世界上一些最大的食品生產國同時也是擁有最多營養不良人口的國家？為什麼每個人每天的食物浪費高達 1,000 卡路里？我們該如何解決這個問題？我們是否都可以成為素食者並保持健康？我們應該這麼做嗎？在不破壞地球的情況下，我們將如何養活急速增長的人口？《食物的真相》揭示了我們如何誤解食物的來源、我們的飲食需求如何影響我們，以及為何這對地球產生了巨大的影響。最終，這本基於數據、經過嚴謹研究的指南將解釋我們如何在未來生存並繁榮發展。「或許沒有其他學者能像斯米爾一樣用數據描繪出如此生動的畫面。」 ——《衛報》‘There is no author whose books I look forward to more’ BILL GATESIn this ambitious, myth-busting book, leading scientist and internationally bestselling author Vaclav Smil investigates many of the burning questions facing the world today:Why are some of the world’s biggest food producers also the countries with the most undernourished populations?Why is food waste a colossal 1,000kcal per person daily, and how can we solve that?Could we all go vegan and be healthy? Should we?How will we feed the ballooning population without killing the planet?How Food Really Works shows how we misunderstand the essentials of where our food really comes from, how our dietary requirements shape us, and why this impacts our planet in drastic ways. Ultimately, this data-based, rigorously researched guide explains how we will survive and thrive long into the future.‘There is perhaps no other academic who paints pictures with numbers like Smil’ GUARDIAN
