Feed the Planet: A Photographic Journey to the World’s Food

Do you know where your food comes from? To find out, acclaimed photographer George Steinmetz spent a decade documenting food production in more than 36 countries on 6 continents, 24 US states, and 5 oceans. In his new book, Feed the Planet, filled with never-before seen aerial images, Steinmetz documents the awesome global effort that puts food on our tables and transforms the surface of the Earth, capturing the massive scale of 21st-century agriculture that has sculpted 40 percent of the Earth’s surface. The New York Times Book Review described his stunning photographs as “revelatory, sometimes unsettling and surprisingly beautiful."

Feed the Planet brings the impact of visual images, accompanied by clear explanations and accurate information, to one of humanity’s deepest needs, greatest pleasures, and most pressing challenges: Bringing nutritious and sustainably produced food to the Earth's growing population, in the face of destabilizing climate change. It’s the rare book that reveals how the world works, laying the groundwork for thinking about how our personal choices shape the future well-being of everyone.
