The protein crunch - Civilisation on the brink reveals the shocking truth of how we have abused the very ground we stand on, the water we drink and the seas that cover our planet. Water, land and sea combine to produce the food we eat. These natural resources have become critically degraded at a time when our expanding population needs them most: we must act now.

Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark, and a large group of professionals built the Titanic.
