Food Routes Growing Bananas in Iceland and Other Tales from the Logistics of Eating Audible Audio Edition Robyn S Metcalfe Donna Postel Tantor Audio Books Reviews
- This book looks at our food system from so many different angles. It sheds light on a topic that most people don't care about. People say they are interested in farm to table, yet they only care about the farm and the table. This book fills in the gaps. It explains why our food system is so complicated. It includes pros and cons. It also spends a lot of time thinking about the future. There is a lot of research and development going into agriculture technology and logistics. These investments will revolutionize the way we eat and our relationship with food. Robyn is amazing at sparking conversation. She gives the reader enough information to develop their own opinions on our food system and the future.
- Great overview of the many elements that make up our global food supply chain...and the shifting consumer preferences and enabling technologies that will create disruptive changes across the food industry. I especially enjoyed the framework used to describe the "ingredients that keep food moving" - reliability, trust, adaptability and technology. And the end chapter that outlines potential future outcomes is fascinating - especially the discussion on how last-mile food delivery could be radically influenced by local (rooftop and in-home) "farming". Dr. Metcalfe is a great storyteller!
