How can we eat well without harming the planet?

The way we produce food today is damaging people and nature alike. Modern, intensive farming systems produce pesticide-laced, ultra-processed foods that are bad for us and bad for the planet.

But there is cause for hope. From supporting more sustainable farming systems and modifying what we eat to wasting less and growing more ourselves, Dave Goulson shows that change is possible and individual choices do matter – even while governments fail to act.

Packed with surprising insights and practical guidance, Eat the Planet Well cuts through the information overload to help us navigate the tricky decisions we face every day, and offers an optimistic vision for a healthier future.
