Food security : from excess to enough / Ralph C. Martin ; foreword by Elizabeth May. by Martin, Ralph C. (Ralph Cameron), 1953- Dundurn, 2019. Call #: 338.1971 M382f Subjects Food consumption -- Canada.   Food supply -- Canada.   Food security -- Canada.   Agricultural industries -- Canada.   Agriculture -- Environmental aspects -- Canada. Series Point of view (Dundurn Press) ISBN:  9781459744028 (pbk.) Description:  xiv, 208 p. ; 21 cm. Notes:  "A J. Patrick Boyer book." Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references: pages 188-208. Summary:  "Canadians are failing to balance reasonable food consumption with sufficient and sustainable production. The modern agricultural system is producing more and more food. Too much food. The cost is enormous: excess nutrients are contaminating the air and water; soil is being depleted; species loss is plunging us toward the sixth extinction; and farmers, racking up debt, are increasingly vulnerable to economic and climatic shifts. At the same time, people are consuming too much food. Two-thirds of health-care costs in Canada can be attributed to chronic diseases associated with unhealthy eating. And then there is the waste -- householders, food processors, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers collectively waste 40 percent of the food produced. A radical rethink is required. We need to move from excess to enough."--From publisher. Other authors:  May, Elizabeth.
