Horticulture in the Age of Food

The dramatic evolution in the global diet, cuisine and consumer preferences will, over coming decades, change the foods we eat more profoundly than at any time in history.
Driven by emerging scarcities of land, water, oil, nutrients, fish and the extinction of the climate that gave rise to agriculture, our diet is poised to change profoundly.
With 100,000+ new plants to choose among, horticulture will lead the revolution to a sustainable, nutritious, healthy diet in the Age of Food.
