The Problem with Solutions

"The Problem with Solutions" by Julie Guthman critically examines the trend of Silicon Valley's tech-driven approaches to solving food and agriculture crises. The book argues that these solutions tend to be superficial and inadequate, emphasizing the need to move beyond capitalistic and technological fixations toward understanding and addressing the root causes of these issues. By analyzing the influence of tech culture on the sector and academia, Guthman calls for more meaningful, sustainable responses to food system challenges.
