À la défense de la biodiversité alimentaire by Bernard Lavallée

Our plates have never seemed so varied and our grocery stores so abundant. But could it be that behind this profusion lies a global loss of food biodiversity?

Our nostalgic urban nutritionist wanted to understand how foods prized by generations of humans could suddenly disappear, but more importantly, what could have caused their extinction and why it should alarm us.

Without ever losing his refreshing sense of humour, he traces five major moments in our food history and their effects on the diversity of our diet. Captivating portraits of once abundant but now extinct foods accompany his findings, as examples of what could happen to the plants and animals we now feed on.
