About the Book: In The New Food Fight, Michael Grunwald reveals how humanity’s relentless expansion of farmland—clearing areas the size of Asia and Europe—is driving climate change and threatening our ability to feed nearly 10 billion people by 2050. Through the lens of food and land expert Tim Searchinger, Grunwald exposes the failures of policy, industry, and science, while spotlighting innovative solutions—from miracle crops and gene-edited livestock to sustainable pesticides—that could reshape our food system. A gripping, often shocking account, this book combines urgent warnings with hopeful strategies for feeding the world while saving the planet.
