This thought-provoking book explores how mass production has led to the disappearance of traditional farming and compromised the integrity of our food systems. Lymbery takes readers on an investigative journey across multiple countries, from the UK and Europe to the USA, China, Argentina, Peru, and Mexico, unveiling the hidden dangers behind the cheap meat industry. The book draws attention to scandals like the UK horsemeat scandal, highlighting the murky world of food chains and the risks we face when quality control is ignored.
Through bite-sized pieces, Farmageddon in Pictures illustrates the global impact of factory farming on health, the environment, and the welfare of animals. Lymbery not only critiques current food production practices but also calls for a change towards more sustainable and humane alternatives. With stunning visuals accompanying the narrative, the book makes an urgent case for rethinking how we produce, consume, and think about food.
This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of food, animal welfare, and the sustainability of farming practices.
