Advance praise for
Eating Fossil Fuels
People eat — and this book explains in the most lucid way
what 
they eat: namely the product of energy-intensive agriculture. Itfinds that the Green Revolution, hailed as a breakthrough bywhich to feed an exploding population, actually degrades theecosystem, making us ever more dependent on energy inputsfrom oil and gas. But oil and gas are set to deplete to near exhaustion this century. The challenges are great, but there are solutions.This book is key reading for those wanting to be counted amongstthe survivors.— C. J. Campbell, Chairman, The Association for the Study of 
Peak Oil (ASPO)
In retrospect, the industrialization of agriculture was one of the greatest blunders in the history of our species; as Dale AllenPfeiffer shows, it is a mistake that can be undone — and, given theimminent peak in global oil production,
must be
undone as soonas possible. The world's addiction to oil is as personal and prosaicas what's on your dinner plate and how it got there. This is a book of enormous importance.

The Party's Over, Powerdown,
and
The Oil Depletion Protocol
 Eating Fossil Fuels
is a wake-up call for humanity. It traces how,
with industrialization and globalization, we have stopped eatingreal food and have started to eat oil, increasing the fossil fuel content of the food chain and threatening the environment, ourhealth and our future. Pfeiffer shows how creating fossil fuel-freeecological and localized food systems has become a central challenge for sustainability, and how you can help make this shift.
