Our Changing Menu helps us understand how to think about food, rather than what to think. The diversity of the co-authors' experiences is woven together to create awareness and help us get involved in improving our diets, while reducing food waste and food's impacts on climate change and the planet.- Jason Clay, Senior Vice President, Markets, World Wildlife FundOur Changing Menu unpacks the increasingly complex relationships between food and climate change. Whether you're a chef, baker, distiller, restaurateur, or someone who simply enjoys a good pizza or drink, it's time to come to terms with how climate change is affecting our diverse and interwoven food system.Michael P. Hoffmann, Carrie Koplinka-Loehr, and Danielle L. Eiseman offer an eye-opening journey through a complete menu of before-dinner drinks and salads; main courses and sides; and coffee and dessert.

Their story is rounded out with a primer on the global food system, the causes and impacts of climate change, and what we can all do.Our Changing Menu is a celebration of food and a call to actionencouraging readers to join with others from the common ground of food to help tackle the greatest challenge of our time.
