Through interviews with farmers, chefs, non-profit managers, teachers, consumers, and healthcare providers, the author uncovers the strengths of the alternative agro-food movement and argues that this movement is facilitating more sustainable agriculture, healthier consumption patterns, and greater access to nutritious food.
Food for the Future: Stories from the Alternative Agro-food Movement is about different foods, the stories they contain, and most of all the people in the stories. John Brueggemann interviewed dozens of farmers, chefs, non-profit managers, consumers, teachers, and healthcare providers. He argues that their individual stories point towards larger patterns that have shaped the alternative agro-food movement, and that other factors, including the environmental movement, farms, lifestyle movements, and consumers have all played a crucial role in its rise. The author concludes that the alternative agro-food movement is providing a countervailing force relative to mainstream market culture, and that instead of efficiency, profit, consumption, individualism and short-term thinking, the alternative agro-food movement emphasizes meaning, need, creation, community, and long-term thinking.
?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.?
