Produktbeschreibung

.Title occupies a unique spot in the market where concerns about climate change, pollution, and failings of the modern agricultural industry overlap with the desire to nurture the well-being of one's family with the inclusion of recipes. It introduces a startling new topic to the mainstream readership, "virtual water," as a factor in the looming shortages of fresh water resources.

.Title will connect with readers on a personal level in providing actionable advice on sustainable living, and recipes for meals that are healthy for both individuals and the Earth. It is a staunchly activist book that doesn't overwhelm with dogma, but rather educates through an accessible narrative and encourages readers with specific tips to take whatever steps they can to do their part in creating a sustainable future.

.Title is author's debut book
