Synopsis

A Taste for Change argues that civil society must take the initiative to create a new paradigm of existence that centres 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 the earth-based spirituality of St. 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 in order 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.
