NUTRIECOLOGY

The only possible food future: to feed people better from a preserved environment. The way we eat is not neutral, it can contribute to the aggravation of global warming and the erosion of biodiversity. In this book that will not leave anyone indifferent, Christian Rémésy shows us that the best way to eat well is also the most effective in protecting the planet. By following our food chain from field to plate, this document highlights the immense responsibility of the agro-industrial system in the global epidemic of obesity and diabetes, the waste of food it generates, its damage on environment, and by the way denounces the total ineffectiveness of official nutritional recommendations. To break the deadlock, Christian Rémésy proposes a new food era, that of nutriecology. Nutriecology aims to better nourish people from a preserved environment. It guides our food choices, giving them a deep nutritional, ecological and social meaning. It indicates to the agricultural sector the food offer that it must provide to fully exercise its nourishing and ecological vocation, and finally, it forces the actors of the agrifood industry to preserve the naturalness of food. Implementing nutriecology means realizing that eating in harmony with the living is not only good for our health but good for our planet. By protecting ourselves, we protect it too. It is a huge project open to us, but totally within our reach. This book, written with passion, is the first stone.
