1. Diet For A Small Planet
The book is a groundbreaking work that challenges conventional beliefs about hunger, food production, and diet. It introduces the concept of protein complementarity and argues that a plant-based diet can meet human nutritional needs while reducing the strain on the environment. The book provides evidence that a meat-centric diet is neither necessary for health nor sustainable for the planet, and it offers practical guidance on how to make more environmentally responsible and nutritious food choices. It also includes a variety of vegetarian recipes that emphasize the efficient use of resources and the importance of understanding the ecological impact of our food decisions.
