Science book of the year 2020 in the science / technology category.
Pollution, industrial agriculture and arable land overexploitation cause chronic diseases. What's the way out?
While the world population is rapidly approaching the 8th billion and more and more people want to participate in the prosperity, chronic diseases are spreading steadily in all age groups and social classes. Warnings of immediate threats such as environmental pollution, soil depletion and decline in biodiversity largely go unheeded. The human biologist and doctor Martin Grassberger shows that there is a direct connection between the ruthless destruction of nature and the quiet epidemics of chronic diseases. The insights are sobering. However, Grassberger shows possible ways out of the current global health and environmental crisis. The book of the hour!
