At a time when a third of the food we produce globally is wasted, Eleanor Barnett opens a window on the everyday experiences of ordinary people in the past to reveal how factors such as religion, class and gender have historically shaped attitudes towards food waste.   Leftovers deploys a wide historical lens to link the many ingenious ways in which our ancestors sought to extend the life of food - encompassing Tudor household management, Victorian public health initiatives and two World Wars - to such contemporary anxieties as climate change, globalisation, scientific advancement, poverty and inequality.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54926330593653,"sku":"9781803281582","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781803281582.jpg?v=1736945606","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781803281582","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
