Flat earth food : a copernican shift in how we grow, eat and heal Johan Jörgensen

For four hundred years, we have understood health by taking it apart. The organ. The cell. The molecule. The gene. Flat Earth Food argues that we have reached the limits of that approach and that the relationships between living things are not a backdrop to health but its very foundation.

Drawing on emerging work across microbiology, immunology, ecology, and soil science, Johan Jörgensen makes the case for a paradigm shift on the scale of the Copernican revolution. The consequences reach into medicine, agriculture, economics, and the question of which institutions should be making decisions about land, food, and the future.
