HOW TO FEED THE WORLD by Vaclav Smil, read by Joe Jameson

Joe Jameson delivers an impressive performance of this comprehensive text. AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff and host Jo Reed discuss how his pace and cadence work well with this fact-filled audiobook. Smil, an energy expert, has long been a student of the planet’s food. He argues astonishingly that with some improvements in diet choices, technology, and wise use of how and where we grow crops, the planet may be able to feed its projected 10 billion inhabitants in 2050. His data-driven focus balances energy needs and real-world preferences for meat with the issues surrounding land use and climate change.
