"provides an order of magnitude technical analysis of feeding all humans for five yearsshow that careful planning and global cooperation could maintain humanity and the bulk of biodiversity in even the most extreme circumstances." --FST Magazine
Fearless and rational When I first read their manuscript, I was immediately struck by how fearless Denkenberger and Pearce are in taking on really big problems. This book is a real tour-de-force, and represents a practical, thoughtful response to seemingly catastrophic events. In addition, some of these solutions can have multi. Denkenberger and Pearce have come up with ingenious solutions to feed the world in the worst case scenario One of the most thought provoking books I have ever read. Denkenberger and Pearce have come up with ingenious solutions to feed the world in the worst case scenario. I can see this as the start of a whole new field of research. Must read for politicians as well as the general public. Humorous and an easy r. "Concise with great references." according to Steven S. Ross. A well documented, clearly written treatise. It is not for everyone, but accesses a vast amount of information. Plenty of realistic scenarios.
Feeding Everyone No Matter What presents a scientific approach to the practicalities of planning for long-term interruption to food production.The primary historic solution developed over the last several decades is increased food storage. This book provides an order of magnitude technical analysis comparing caloric requirements of all humans for five years with conversion of existing vegetation and fossil fuels to edible food. However, storing up enough food to feed everyone would take a significant amount of time and would increase the price of food, killing additional people due to inade
