Description



About the Book



Drawing upon 40 years experience as an ecological farmer, Salatin explains with humor and passion why Americans do not have the freedom to choose the food they purchase and eat. He explains why local food is expensive and why the current system favors industrial, corporate food systems.



Book Synopsis



Drawing upon 40 years' experience as an ecological farmer and marketer, Joel Salatin explains with humor and passion why Americans do not have the freedom to choose the food they purchase and eat. From child labor regulations to food inspection, bureaucrats provide themselves sole discretion over what food is available in the local marketplace. Their system favors industrial, global corporate food systems and discourages community-based food commerce, resulting in homogenized selection, mediocre quality, and exposure to non-organic farming practices. Salatin's expert insight explains why local food is expensive and difficult to find and will illuminate for the reader a deeper understanding of the industrial food complex.



About the Author



Joel Salatin and his family own Polyface Farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. The farm grows pastured livestock and forestry products, marketing directly to thousands of families. Featured in countless print media, documentaries, and YouTube videos, the farm represents the best in commercial-scale environmental agriculture.
He speaks internationally to food and farming conferences, has authored 16 books, and is editor of The Stockman Grass Farmer, the world's premier trade publication for pasture-based livestock farming. Some 15,000 visitors a year come to the farm for tours, food, education, and entertainment. He writes columns for Plain Values magazine, homestead journals, and Manward, an e-magazine.
