What we choose to eat is killing our planet and us, yet the use of the word ‘sustainable’ is ubiquitous. Explanation of this incongruity lies in the fact that sustainability efforts are rarely positioned to include food choices in an accurate manner.

This is due to a number of influencing cultural, social, and political factors that disable our food production systems and limit our base of knowledge–falsely guiding us on a path of pseudo sustainability, while we devastate the ecosystems that support us, cause mass extinctions, and generate narrowing timelines that will ultimately jeopardize our very survival as a civilization.

Food Choice and Sustainability is a groundbreaking book that anyone who cares about our future and that of other species should read–individuals, academic institutions, businesses, organizations, and policymakers. Categories of global depletion are detailed, widely held myths are debunked, critical disconnects are exposed, and profound solutions are offered.

Dr. Oppenlander is a consultant, researcher, and author whose award-winning book Comfortably Unaware has been endorsed as a must-read by Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Jane Goodall, and Neal Barnard, among many others.

He has been a keynote speaker for several conferences and festivals and has presented lectures and workshops at numerous universities and corporations. Dr. Oppenlander also serves as an advisor to municipalities in the U.S. and to a number of world hunger projects that are designing programs from his multidimensional model of sustainability.

He has spent 40 years studying the effects food choices have on our planter and on us. He started an organic, vegan food production company, operates an animal rescue sanctuary, and is the founder and president of the non-profit organization, Inspire Awareness Now.
