How Our Food Choices Can Heal the Earth
Change starts with you!
Do you know what you eat? Do you know where it comes from? Do you know what it is doing to our planet? These were the questions Louis De Jaeger was grappling with at eighteen, when he, with his school diploma in hand, had to choose what to do with his future. Moved by the life stories of his two grandmothers, both farmers’ daughters, he dreamed of going into agriculture. But Louis does not want to join the classical economic model of farming, as he discovers that it leads to over-exploitation. He is, however, not blind to the global food needs.
In this book, Louis takes you on his fascinating journey of discovery from New York to Belgium in search for a sustainable version of agriculture. A confrontational story that exposes some uncomfortable truths about what we eat and what it does to us and our planet, but that also provides hopeful solutions so you too can take action – not only for your own health but also for that of our planet!
