This book is thorough, very well researched and cited, and provides a good balance of dire prediction and hopeful solutions. However, I feel that the scope of the book is overly broad, while still leaving out important discussions. The topic of the book is our declining potential to provide food for the global population, but there is very little discussion of nutrient cycles, and I don't recall any discussion of the phosphorus shortage. There are some good discussions about soil and organic matter, but then there are long digressions into the other problems with factory farming, such as animal cruelty and emissions. No doubt, those are important, but that is a different book than the one described by the title and the summary. It kind of felt like the author relied too much on their broader knowledge of factory farming, and they skimped on research into soil and nutrient cycling. I was also not fond of the discussion of tech-focused solutions such as cultured meat. It felt like the author was enamored with tech bro-led startups that are great at promising their expensive new solution will save the world, but in reality we already have all the technology we need to solve this problem. What we lack is humility on the part of world leaders and a willingness of the world's wealthy to admit that they are taking more than their fair share. As a whole, I think the book is a good contribution to the literature on climate change and agriculture. But sadly I was disappointed that it didn't quite live up to what I was hoping for.
