WINNER OF THE 2019 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARD

In the fascinating story of the sustainable food revolution, an environmental journalist and professor asks the question: Is the future of food looking bleak--or better than ever?

"In The Fate of Food, Amanda Little takes us on a tour of the future. The journey is scary, exciting, and, ultimately, encouraging."--Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction

Climate models show that global crop production will decline every decade for the rest of this century due to drought, heat, and flooding. Water supplies are in jeopardy. Meanwhile, the world's population is expected to grow another 30 percent by midcentury. So how, really, will we feed nine billion people sustainably in the coming decades?

Amanda Little, a professor at Vanderbilt University and an award-winning journalist, spent three years traveling through a dozen countries and as many U.S. states in search of answers to this question. Her journey took her from an apple orchard in Wisconsin to a remote control organic farm in Shanghai, from Norwegian fish farms to famine-stricken regions of Ethiopia.

The race to reinvent the global food system is on, and the challenge is twofold: We must solve the existing problems of industrial agriculture while also preparing for the pressures ahead. Through her interviews and adventures with farmers, scientists, activists, and engineers, Little tells the fascinating story of human innovation and explores new and old approaches to food production while charting the growth of a movement that could redefine sustainable food on a grand scale. She meets small permaculture farmers and "Big Food" executives, botanists studying ancient superfoods and Kenyan farmers growing the country's first GMO corn. She travels to places that might seem irrelevant to the future of food yet surprisingly play a critical role--a California sewage plant, a U.S. Army research lab, even the inside of a monsoon cloud above Mumbai. Little asks tough questions: Can GMOs actually be good for the environment--and for us? Are we facing the end of animal meat? What will it take to eliminate harmful chemicals from farming? How can a clean, climate-resilient food supply become accessible to all?

Throughout her journey, Little finds and shares a deeper understanding of the threats of climate change and encounters a sense of awe and optimism about the lessons of our past and the scope of human ingenuity.

Best dog toy ever!!
Color: Teal
My dog absolutely loves this toy. It's very durable and made from quality materials that she can't destroy and she's an aggressive chewer. It Makes a squeaky sound that encourages and keeps her engaged for longer play times. I will be looking to purchase other dog toys from this company,its worth the money and so happy I bought this for my girl!!

Parts of this are way too hard to be safe for dogs
Color: Royal Blue
My dog sniffed this and took a hard pass. The body is hard rubber, which some dogs might like. However, the head and tail are rock hard plastic - definitely hard enough to break a dog's teeth. I'm glad my dog wasn't interested in it.

Very durable!
Color: Teal
My big guy (American Staffordshire) loves these kind of toys! I love them because he can't tear them apart. The only thing is when he chews on them they become like a cactus.

Heavy, long lasting chew
Color: Teal
This dog chew is the best yet for our very aggressive chewer. The material will get roughed up somewhat but so far no pieces have broken off. Our 25lb cockapoo loves it. I use a scissors to remove some sharp edges when needed. Beware this alligator is heavy but she carries it around regardless.
