Synopsis

How can eating better ourselves improve life for everyone on the planet? This intriguing title combines images and infographics to help explain how choosing foods that don't have to be shipped long distances, don't add to world pollution, and are not in danger of running out helps to ensure the world's food supply. Close-up boxes and case studies illustrate relevant examples of topics such as soil protection, organic vs industrial farming, and overfishing.

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Gr 3-6As the titles suggest, these four books emphasize ways we can conserve natural resources. Each entry boasts 13 chapters that contain clear color photographs and diagrams that succinctly compare and contrast information. The bright layout is busyborderline distractingbut consistent. The conversational tone, with multiple case-by-case comparisons, is engaging. Though the series is certainly not comprehensive, the global perspective and spotlights on multiple countries are noteworthy. While there is some repeated information from entry to entry, the series is a unified whole that should be purchased together. However, libraries should note that some of the information is from a few years ago (2015 or before). VERDICT Environmentally and globally conscious, this set would be a welcome addition to most collections.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
