English:
Man & Food, the Origins is a global journey exploring the relationship between environments and the traditional ancestral diets of seven self-sufficient communities. Food – often arduous to attain – defines every aspect of their lives. Plucked. Washed. Sliced. Salted. Preserved and cooked. This book documents the painstaking processes by which they acquire food, what sustains them and how the environment shapes their lifestyles.
The triangular relationship between man, nature and food is a common thread woven through each of these stories. From the Inuit of Greenland to the Bajau of Malaysia, these images alert us to the direct link between what we eat, our well-being and the preservation of our world.

Véritable tour du monde des alimentations primitives, Man&Food, aux origines nous fait découvrir sept régimes alimentaires ancestraux à travers sept environnements et peuples autosuffisants. Au cœur de chacune de ces histoires, un fil conducteur commun, la relation étroite entre l’Homme, la nature et la nourriture parfois si difficile à acquérir. Laver, couper, transformer, baratter, saler, conserver, cuire: ce livre illustre les facultés sans limites de l’Homme à adapter son alimentation à son environnement.
Des Inuit du Groenland aux Bajau de Malaisie, le photographe Matthieu Paley est allé à la rencontre d’une facette méconnue de notre planète et nous alerte sur le lien direct entre alimentation, bien-être et préservation de la Terre.
