Description
Climate change is disrupting humanity's most fundamental need: food. Are you ready for real solutions but frustrated by advice that feels dense, alarmist, or vague? Will We Go Hungry? cuts through the noise and moves beyond ideology - bridging the gap between high-tech solutions and regenerative approaches with evidence, not dogma. Drawing on decades of combined global experience in climate finance, marketing, and frugal innovation, the authors offer a clear-eyed analysis of both risks and opportunities. They translate complex science into actionable insights, weigh the pros, cons, and trade-offs of a full 'buffet' of solutions, and share real-world lessons from their acclaimed podcast. This is your guide to turning understanding into action. It will empower you to craft a resilient, tailored strategy that relies on ingenuity more than capital - and to galvanise your organisation to act with urgency.
