Eating to Extinction: The World's Rarest Foods and Why We Need to Save Them by Dan Saladino
challenging
informative
medium-paced
5.0
I was able to listen to an audiobook #arc for @dan.saladino's book, Eating to Extinction. Hitting shelves February 2022, I would say this is a MUST READ for anyone interested in #foodwriting or #naturewriting. This is the kind of book that makes #nonfiction fun and exciting for me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Saladino's book is a rallying cry and a wakeup call for humans. We live in a world overwhelmed by monocultures and bad decisions. Each chapter navigates a food (grains, fish, meats, and so on) impacted by mankind and how our biodiversity is declining and heading towards extinction.
.
As an audiobook, we come in just shy of 13 hours but I found I could speed up the book to 1.25x without much fuss. The book has excellent pacing and I love that each chapter stands alone because it focuses on an individual food item. You could read out of order or skip to an area that interests you. I think, personally, the strongest area is the part about fish.
.
Starting out 2022 reading very strong. This is such a powerful and fascinating read. The effort and research is apparent. It makes me very excited for the aquaponics and vertical farming I plan on adding to the backyard this summer!!
