Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Philip Lymbery is Chief Executive of the international farm-animal-welfare organisation Compassion in World Farming. He has played a leading role in many major animal welfare reforms, including Europe-wide bans on veal crates for calves and barren battery cages for laying hens. He also spearheaded Compassion's engagement with more than 1,000 food companies worldwide, leading to genuine improvements in the lives of more than two billion farm animals every year. He was appointed an ambassadorial 'Champion' for the UN Food Systems Summit in 2021.

A columnist for the Scotsman, his first book, Farmageddon, was listed as a Book of the Year by The Times. His other books are Dead Zone and Sixty Harvests Left. A visiting professor at the University of Winchester, he is also a keen ornithologist.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Farm animals have been disappearing from our fields as the production of food has become a global industry. We no longer know for certain what is entering the food chain and what we are eating - as the UK horsemeat scandal demonstrated. We are reaching a tipping point as the farming revolution threatens our countryside, health and the quality of our food wherever we live in the world.

Farmageddon is a fascinating and terrifying investigative journey behind the closed doors of a runaway industry across the world - from the UK, Europe and the USA, to China, Argentina, Peru and Mexico. It is both a wake-up call to change our current food production and eating practices and an attempt to find a way to a better farming future.
