Description

Feed the Planet by photographer George Steinmetz documents the global effort that ensures our food and transforms the Earth's surface. With a foreword by Michael Pollan and an introduction and informative captions by experienced environmentalist Joel K. Bourne Jr., the book highlights the impact of visual images, accompanied by clear explanations and accurate information, on one of humanity's deepest needs: ensuring nutritious and sustainable food for the growing global population amid climate change.

Steinmetz dedicated a decade to documenting food production in more than 36 countries and 6 continents. Through stunning aerial photographs, he captures the gigantic scale of 21st-century agriculture that has shaped 40% of the Earth's surface. He explores the cultivation of staple foods such as wheat and rice, the cultivation of vegetables and fruits, fishing and aquaculture, as well as meat production.

From the wheat fields of Kansas to the roots of a shrimp cocktail in India and the cattle stations in Australia, Steinmetz traces the foods we consume back to the land and sea, to the field and factory. He takes us to places most of us do not see, even though our lives depend on them.
