Review Quotes
"In this wonderfully rendered account of how ordinary people are working to change our food and agricultural systems -- from production to consumption and everything in between -- John Brueggemann does the invaluable service of giving eaters the conceptual and practical tools they need to play their roles in building healthy lands and communities. Food for the Future is indispensable reading for precisely this moment in time."
