lt has never been more important to embrace sustainability. ln the next four decades, we will need as much food as during the last 500 years.

Outside the Magic Square considers issues of food security and offers solutions at the street, neighbourhood and global levels. Mixing gardening advice and food plot design with discussion of pressing issues like global warming, dwindling oil supplies, the future for farmers and GM foods, Lolo Houbein challenges us to mobilise for food security.

'Put down the KNIFE! Back away from the kitchen, and pick up this book. If we don't change the way we look at food, many will get hurt. Understanding the complexity of the issues surrounding food security is going to scare you: understanding what you can do about it is right here in this book. It is an insightful, informed and practical survival guide for our eating future.' - Simon Bryant

'I dare anyone who reads it NOT to want to get their hands in the dirt immediately ... I found the book both timely and encouraging. One of the best and most positive on the subject I've come across.' – Lucinda Dodds, Nourish Me blog
