The Wisdom of Farmers

What We Can Learn from the Land

Shortlisted for Non-Fiction Book of The Year, Irish Book Awards 2025'An outstanding work' Michael D. Higgins'Explosive' Irish Times'An honest, uncompromising book that pulls no punches in identifying the powerful interests that are stymieing Ireland's transition to a more equitable low carbon future for all. Essential reading for the public and policymakers alike.' Mary Robinson'A profoundly important and extremely well written and presented book' Seán Ronayne---A passionate case for reimagining Irish farming and agriculture in the age of climate change, from a respected environmental journalist.The effects of climate change in Ireland will be profound, and at the moment we're not doing nearly enough about it. That's the bad news. The good news is that Ireland has the wherewithal to dramatically cut its emissions while making itself far more resilient. This book shows how it can be done.The Lie of the Land is a devastating dissection of the wishful thinking and outright dishonesty that have propped up the status quo in Irish agribusiness. It also offers an inspiring vision of how - through a revolution in farming, development of renewable energy and a dramatic acceleration of moves to decarbonize transport and housing - we can prepare for the new realities of the climate crisis.---'Gripping, urgent ... offering a compelling, hopeful vision of a viable future. Crucial reading.' Eoghan Daltun'Well-argued and well-written' Matt Cooper'A bracing critique' The Currency'An education for anyone baffled by the rows that bedevil climate policy in Ireland and a glimpse at the alternatives to the business - as - usual approach. But mostly, it's a plea for honesty around topics when hiding from the truth has for too long been the national approach.' Irish Independent'Compelling and impassioned ... eye opening' Sunday Independent'Read this exposé of malicious planetary negligence and be inspired to act before it's too late' Michael Mann'Offers some clear ideas for an Irish path into a safer future - the time for climate complacency has come and gone' Bill McKibben'An important book with many insightful and ever more relevant perspectives. I learned a lot from it' Diarmaid Ferriter'A benchmark book ... the inside story from a great author of Ireland's failure to take the threat of climate change seriously' Prof. John Sweeney'The best book I've read in years. An excellent, highly-engaging, well-articulated presentation of the scientific facts on the climate emergency. It's addictive reading.' Duncan Stewart'Kept me awake at night ... Gibbons has indeed done the State and generations as yet unborn some service' Irish Examiner'This is the book to read to understand how global environmental change affects Ireland, how Ireland contributes to it, and how Ireland can become more resilient in the face of what is likely to come' J.R. McNeill'Gibbons, in his recent book, belongs to the group fearing catastrophe, and the international scientific community is increasingly in agreement with him' Irish Farmers Journal'Gibbons is fearless in addressing the naysayers, purveyors of disinformation and vested interests ... in the future, people will look back and thank him for what he has done' Eamon Ryan, former Climate &amp; Environment Minister'Such a great read. The author's honesty shines through' Mark Mellett, former Chief of Staff, Irish Defence Forces'Dismantles the comfortable assumptions and wishful thinking that so often dominate climate discourse, bringing clarity and evidence where they're so badly needed. Essential reading for anyone seeking an honest account of Ireland's climate challenge' Hannah Daly, Professor of Sustainable Energy, UCC'Gibbons's up-to-date account of Ireland's climate crunch makes these issues immediate and personal. Essential reading for anyone interested in Ireland's future and public affairs' Tony Holohan, former Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health'A tour de force from Gibbons ... If you only read one book on climate, make this it' Irish Doctors for the Environment'This is a bloody great read, I had to pick my jaw up off the floor a few times!'

The Truth About Farming, Climate and Power in Ireland

The Lie of the Land

Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital technologies in agritech and food supply chains have significantly enhanced production efficiency and transparency in recent years. Together, they can empower stakeholders across the supply chain to operate more efficiently, transparently, and intelligently, transforming traditional supply chains into more integrated and responsive networks. This two-volume research work makes a broad study of agritech food supply chains.Including contributions from a global team of scholars, this second volume is focused on applications of technology, from farming and harvesting to processing, storage, and transport, and offers a detailed analysis of these applications and their implications for academic research. It will be of great interest to researchers, scholars, and graduate students in the fields of agricultural science, innovation, and supply chain management.Sneha Kumari

Food Supply Chains

Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence in Agritech and Food Supply Chains, Volume II

'It's a total mind-wrecker' - Max Porter, author of Shy 'The book I wish I had written' - Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women 'Utterly gripping' - The Observer 'Dazzling' - Evening Standard Amanda knows she has to answer the questions. Lying feverish and unseeing in her hospital bed, she tries her best to account for how she came to be there. She remembers the lake, the house and the strange woman next door with her unthinkable confession. She remembers the fear of losing her young daughter, Nina. Now she is alone and Nina is gone. At what moment did everything go dark? Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, Fever Dream is an unforgettable masterpiece of psychological terror from Samanta Schweblin. 'I picked up Fever Dream in the wee hours, and a low, sick thrill took hold of me as I read . . . I was checking the locks in my apartment by page thirty. By the time I finished the book, I couldn't bring myself to look out the windows' - Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker

'This could - should - be the last diet book you will need. It's colourful, readable, personable, richly informed, expert and just, well... right' James McConnachie, Sunday Times Why is it so hard to decide what to eat? We are bombarded with conflicting advice on weight and health, fad diets and food pyramids. No wonder so many of us feel confused and guilty.In Fed Up, Daniel Lieberman tackles this confusion head on with his trademark blend of lively storytelling and myth-busting science. Drawing on evolutionary biology, anthropology and physiology, he explains how humans first evolved to eat; how fire, farming and industrialization transformed our diets; and what that history combined with rigorous medical science can - and cannot - tell us about what to eat today to stay healthy and manage our weight. In each chapter, Lieberman explores what different diets - from Paleo to veganism to intermittent fasting - tell us about nutrition and health, even putting these diets to the test himself. His conclusion is liberating: there is no optimal diet. What matters instead is variety, moderation and finding out what works for you.Clear-eyed, humane and always entertaining, Fed Up gives us the tools to make wiser, kinder choices about what we eat.

What Evolution Reveals about Food, Diet and Eating Well

Fed Up

'Peasants is not just an extraordinary debut, it is that most precious rarity: an out-and-out masterpiece' WILLIAM DALRYMPLE Four crops, three continents, two billion lives: this is the hidden world that we all depend upon for survival. And it's under threat. For centuries, peasants stood at the heart of human society: feeding empires, leading revolutions, building modern states. Industrial modernity forced them into the shadows, replaced in our imagination by machines and megafarms. But the elimination of the peasantry is a myth. Today, peasants make up roughly a quarter of humanity. They underpin the global economy, stabilise food systems and protect fragile ecosystems. Peasants hold up the modern world, yet their labour and voices have been hidden in plain sight - until now. In this landmark book, Maryam Aslany restores the peasantry to the centre of our global story. She embarks on an epic journey across three continents into some of the most remote places on earth - from India's sugarcane fields to Cambodia's rice plains, Peru's cocaine valleys and Ghana's cocoa belt - travelling deep into the landscapes where global supply chains begin. Here, she uncovers the lives behind the world's most vital commodities. She speaks to farmers, smugglers and traffickers. Men driven to extremism or suicide by failing livelihoods, and women forced to bear the burden of agricultural labour. Families on the brink of survival. As our demand for cheap goods intensifies, our most vital and innovative workforce is being driven towards collapse. The consequences are already starting to show: food insecurity, mass migration, ecological collapse. Far from being a relic of our past, the peasantry is essential to our future. Blending personal stories with on-the-ground reporting and pioneering new research, Peasants is a far-reaching yet intimate portrait of the world in four crops - sugarcane, rice, cocoa and cocaine - and an urgent reminder that the story of the countryside is the story of us all.

How Coca-Cola makes Americans sick—and makes sure we don’t know it. If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don’t find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America’s health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark.
