EATING TO EXTINCTION

This is a tour of disappearing worlds, and reveals the battles being fought for the future of a planet. From a humble pea transported to America on slave ships to a mysterious cheese made in the mountains of Albania, from the wild honey still harvested by a nomadic tribe in Tanzania to the genetic ancestor of the world's oranges in the mountain forests of India, these foods span the history of civilisation.
