Finally a book that cuts the global food system down to size
My new book presents a global perspective on food production and agriculture and proposes a sustainable and fairly traded path we can follow to secure food for all and protection for the planet. With chapters on your kitchen through to global systems via your garden, schools, community, and an insight into food issues in cities and on farms, Stuffed takes a political and personal look the way that food systems influence, and can be influenced by, our choices.
The preface was written by Michael Pollan, (The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and In Defense of Food) and the book also contains contributing essays by respected experts, Monty Don, Geetie Singh, Jeanette Orrey, Rob Hopkins, Carolyn Steel, Peter Melchett, Patrick Holden, Vandana Shiva and Eric Schlosser.
It’s published by Alastair Sawday Publishing in partnership with the Soil Association. To buy your copy, click here
