Tasks undertaken at home have influence around the world. Eating patterns that citizens adopt or support have diverse impacts on the planet. What we fix for dinner may well help to fix the planet when lower emission foods, reduced waste, enhanced distribution, and equality are emphasized. Fanzo's book is an illuminating read for those new to food critique and those interested in her creative ways of weaving together an accessible systems analysis.

Nos activités domestiques ont une influence ailleurs dans le monde. Les habitudes alimentaires adoptées ou soutenues par les citoyennes et citoyens ont diverses répercussions sur la planète. Alors que s’imposent la réduction des émissions liées à la nourriture et celle des déchets, une meilleure distribution et l’égalité, ce que nous préparons pour le repas pourrait contribuer à sauver la planète. L’ouvrage de Fanzo éclairera autant le lectorat novice en matière de critique alimentaire que celui intéressé par son analyse créative et accessible des systèmes.
