Diet for a Large Planet<\/strong>, 19.4.23<\/h2>\n

A Conversation With Prof. Christopher Otter, Ohio State University<\/strong><\/h3>\n

about his book
\nDiet for a Large Planet: Industrial Britain, Food Systems, and World Ecology
\n<\/em><\/strong>University of Chicago Press, 2022\u00a0<\/p>\n

Host: Dr. Alma Igra<\/a>, Polonsky Fellow at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute<\/p>\n

We are facing a world food crisis of unparalleled proportions. Our reliance on unsustainable dietary choices and agricultural systems is causing problems both for human health and the health of our planet. Solutions from lab-grown food to vegan diets to strictly local food consumption are often discussed, but a central question remains: how did we get to this point?<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Diet for a Large Planet<\/em>, Chris Otter goes back to the late eighteenth century in Britain, where the diet heavy in meat, wheat, and sugar was developing. As Britain underwent steady growth, urbanization, industrialization, and economic expansion, the nation altered its food choices, shifting away from locally produced plant-based nutrition. This new diet, rich in animal proteins and refined carbohydrates, made people taller and stronger, but it led to new types of health problems. Its production also relied on far greater acreage than Britain itself, forcing the nation to become more dependent on global resources. Otter shows how this issue expands beyond Britain, looking at the global effects of large agro-food systems that require more resources than our planet can sustain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Polonsky Salon<\/strong><\/a> is a digital public platform at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. Polonsky Fellows and alumni will host inspiring and internationally renowned academics to discuss new ideas and cutting-edge research from various disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.<\/p>\n
