Overview

Food has never been more abundant-and never more fragile. Modern civilization rests on a global food system built for speed, scale, and profit, not resilience. From industrial crop production and factory farming to collapsing fisheries and exhausted water reservoirs, the systems designed to feed the world are quietly dismantling the conditions that make food possible at all. In From Field to Famine, this book traces how industrial methods-praised as efficient and necessary-are instead accelerating soil death, draining freshwater, destabilizing ecosystems, and wasting vast amounts of energy and nutrition. The result is a tightly coupled global network where failure in one region ripples across the planet, turning droughts, disease, conflict, and market shocks into catalysts for famine. This is not a book about a distant apocalypse. It is an examination of trends already underway-measurable, documented, and accelerating. As population pressures rise and environmental buffers disappear, the margin for error in the global food system is vanishing. From Field to Famine challenges the assumption that industrialization equals security and asks a harder question: What happens when the system designed to feed humanity can no longer sustain itself? The answer may determine whether the future holds abundance-or hunger on a scale the modern world has never known
