What if meat-eating became a thing of the past? A new book explores the impact that widespread veganism could have on society.
Here's what van Voorst had to say about her penetrating insights into future-think.RvV: As an anthropologist, I'd done fieldwork all over the world—mostly in places where the impacts of climate changes were already clear.
