AB  - This book was motivated by the need to approach with a fresh look what we regard as perhaps  the most embarrassing  predicament of the Anthropocene/Capitalocene (Capra and Mattei,  2015, Altvater et al., 2016, Moore, 2017). We live in an era with roughly the same number (about  one billion) of over-fed people and of people lacking access to nutritious food (which means  that do not know in the morning if they will be able to feed themselves and their children during  the day). Our era also stands out by the remarkable amount of food that is wasted in some  parts of the world and by the unprecedented number of livestock that populates this planet  (Patel and Moore, 2017). Moreover, in the current phase of neoliberal capitalism that dominates  in the Anthropocene/Capitalocene, the ecological footprint is out of control; some rich people  (the majority in the Global North and the elite in the Global South) can enjoy every day food  shipped from thousands of miles away on gas gulping aircrafts and boats that pollute the environment  beyond imagination. Such luxury, the result of the worldwide colonization of diets,  would be impossible without a very significant environmental subsidy; if all the externalities  had to be internalized, eating Nile Perch would be unaffordable to most people everywhere.  The subsidy is ultimately paid by the poor in the South and, in general, will certainly be paid  by future generations. Unless we deal with and avoid the hidden social and environmental costs  that are so far unaccounted for in the hegemonic food system (TEEB, 2018)
