What do you want to be when you grow up? Discover the jobs of the future and decide if you would like them to exist. Because if not, you better get to work to prevent it!

In this large-format book, illustrated with full-color images and scientific data, you will find everything from the characteristics of each new profession to the skills required to develop them.

The book explores the job opportunities that will arise to find solutions to current environmental problems. Young readers can put themselves in the shoes of DNA tailors, microscope chefs, plastic fishermen, talking plant gardeners, virus detectors, and many others.

By reading it, they will understand exactly the importance of each profession in protecting our planet, as well as what needs to be done now to avoid adverse situations in the future.

"Each of the professions and their protagonists carry the same message: we need nature and we have to discover how to be part of it. For example, the gardener of talking plants and the project of a city of trees called Arborea goes beyond fiction to highlight the fundamental role that plants play in our existence, from providing us with food and resources to producing the oxygen we breathe. They are our allies in the face of climate change, through reforestation."
