        Veganomics

        The vegan revolution and its future markets

        by Joël Luc Cachelin

        — A practical guide on how an entirely vegan society can work — A thought-provoking utopia – exactly what we need right now — By the futurologist and founder of the Wissensfabrik ("Knowledge Factory") with a large network We're on an idyllic, albeit fictional, archipelago in the North Sea. Nobody keeps an animal against its will here, and no one sells the materials obtained from killing an animal. No animals are used in agriculture or for research, beauty and food industries. There are no zoos, and there's no animal testing. No one wears wool or leather. Vegania is entirely vegan. Now Karnivoria wants to follow suit, and asks Vegania for advice: how can an entirely different society work; how is it possible to move away from animal products, and how would this affect the catering and food industries and agriculture? An exciting scientific experiment that Joël Luc Cachelin underpins with linguistic sophistication and scientific expertise in this extraordinary book about the possibilities of a livestock-free society.

This book shows where the natural limits of what is currently technologically feasible lie and how the global diversity of food cultures will ensure the survival of humanity in the future. It exposes the great promises of meat substitutes from the laboratory as well as vegan renunciation scenarios, and shows a realistic path for the future of global nutrition along the lines of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Kriener also focuses on the various obscure quality seals, chaotic labelling on the wine rack and our inconsistency as consumers. The new world of food in eleven chapters, spicy at times, but plenty of food for thought and to whet the appetite.

        Für unsere Welt, unser Klima und uns selbst

        by Nils Binnberg

        Sind Veganer tatsächlich die besseren Menschen, müssen Fleisch-Esser sich schämen? Wo endet das Recht auf Selbstentfaltung? Wo beginnt kollektive Verantwortung?

Der Autor hat bei Landwirten, Politikern, Ökonomen und Wissenschaftlern, aber auch in seinem persönlichen Umfeld recherchiert. Sein Buch ist eine faktenreiche, meinungsstarke Ermutigung, die Chancen zu ergreifen, die vor uns liegen. Denn jeder Einzelne von uns kann etwas tun – auch ohne seine individuellen Bedürfnisse aufgeben zu müssen!

        What Is Veganism For?

        by Catherine Oliver

        Across the world, an increasing number of people are turning to veganism, changing not just their diets, but completely removing animal products from their lives. For some, this is prompted by concerns over animal ethics; for others, it’s a response to the part played by animal agriculture in the climate crisis or an attempt to improve their own health. Catherine Oliver shows why the veganism movement has become a powerful social, political and environmental force, taking an honest look at how we live and eat. She discusses the health and environmental benefits of veganism, explores the practical and social impacts of the shift to eating plants, and explains why veganism is not just a diet, but a way of life.
