Interesting topic. It is clear to see that this is first time author. She does bring up some very good points throughout the book and good research has gone into it but the generalizations are very broad.
The author could be more precise in her arguments. Some interesting footnotes to follow up on.

the landscape of food industry needs to be transformed to meet the requirement by 2050. preception change on what good food is, and how technology and innovation eg food re-engineering, clean meat, food waste technology etc could play a part to achieve this.
