Fork Ranger: Solving Climate Change with Food
Whether you eat meat every day or have been vegetarian for years, we are all on a journey. This book is a compass for heading in the right direction.
Join Frank on his exploration through the world of climate change and food. The first part is a broad look at our role as individuals and envisioning a new version of ‘The Good Life’.
From there, the book zooms in on food as one of the key areas where our personal choices can make a huge difference. Our food causes one-third of all greenhouse gases. Why is that and what can we do about it? Frank reviews the science around meat, dairy, organic, seasonal, plastic, local food, and more. He compares the impact of various choices and analyses what it all means for our daily lives.
- Part 1: Why do our individual choices matter? What you and I can do about climate change?
- Part 2: A look at the food system and how it can be a climate solution
- Part 3: Which food choices matter (and which don’t)
- Part 4: Reflections on sustainable meat
- Part 5: Going beyond food
In between the chapters are 40 easy recipes (of which 38 are main courses). Most of them use familiar ingredients and simple cooking steps, but often in unexpectedly tasty combinations. They always include various vegetables and a source of protein.
The recipes are designed for the average home cook while also providing interesting combinations for the more experienced. The majority of the recipes are completely plant-based and the others can be easily turned into a plant-based version.
