A new paradigm for developing a sustainable solution for the economy and the food chain
A Taste for Change argues that civil society must take the initiative to create a new paradigm of existence that centers on the common good, ecological transition, and active involvement in the development of a sustainable solution for the economy and the food chain. Giraud and Petrini engage with the revolutionary concepts captured in Pope Francis's recent encyclicals centering on the Earth-based spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi. This deep exploration of surrounding food systems, indigenous wisdom, economic structures, and politics is based on the premise that the ecological transition urgently needs to be accelerated to avoid the most dramatic consequences of the climate crisis.
Academics, students, and activists from a wide array of disciplines will find A Taste for Change a dialogue worthy of careful consideration and an inspiring call to action.
Gaël Giraud, SJ, is a senior researcher in economics at the French National Research Center and president of the Rousseau Institute. Carlo Petrini is the founder of the global Slow Food movement, the University of Gastronomic Sciences, and Terra Madre, a global network of more than two thousand food communities.
