Viac o knihe

The book explores the pivotal role of pigs in East Germany's effort to establish a modern, industrial food system under communist ideology. By the mid-1980s, East Germany led in pork production per capita compared to West Germany and the UK. However, this centrally planned approach resulted in significant challenges, including manure pollution, outbreaks of animal disease, and persistent food shortages, highlighting the complexities and unintended consequences of such a system.
