We are pleased to share that Flat Earth Food: A Copernican Shift in How We Grow, Eat and Heal, the new book by Johan Jörgensen, has been published.

Drawing on insights from ecology, soil science, nutrition, immunology, economics, and systems thinking, Flat Earth Food argues that many of today’s most pressing challenges—from chronic disease and biodiversity loss to environmental degradation and economic inequality—are not separate problems, but interconnected manifestations of a deeper systemic imbalance.

The book challenges what Johan describes as a “Flat Earth” worldview: a tendency to simplify and separate phenomena that are, in reality, deeply connected. In its place, he proposes a more integrated understanding of food systems, health, ecosystems, and society, revealing how the relationships between them shape both human and planetary wellbeing.

Among the examples featured in the book is Synecoculture, a biodiversity-centered approach to agriculture that seeks to work with ecological complexity rather than reduce it. The book highlights how biodiversity, productivity, public health, and ecosystem health can be understood as mutually reinforcing dimensions of a single living system.

More broadly, Flat Earth Food invites readers to rethink the foundations of modern food systems and to explore what a truly regenerative and health-promoting future might look like.

For researchers, practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in the future of food, health, and sustainability, this book offers a compelling and thought-provoking perspective on one of the defining challenges of our time.
