us. This expanded and updated edition of Resilient Agriculture

agricultural climate solutions with the power to cultivate new
American foodways that are just, sustainable, regenerative, and
resilient. Updated content includes: Current and expected changes
in regional weather patterns that disrupt food and farming New
adaptation stories from sustainable, climate-smart, organic, and
regenerative farmers and updates on the producers featured in the
first edition Real-world applications of resilience thinking that
connect the dots between food justice, sustainable development,
regenerative economy, and planetary health A companion website with
stories, videos, issue briefs, reading guides, and more. Whether
you are working in food and farming or are simply an interested
eater, Resilient Agriculture will take you on a journey into
real-world resilience solutions with the power to regenerate the
well-being of land, people, and community no matter the challenges
ahead. What would a more resilient food system look like? Lengnick

informative book. — Richard Heinberg, senior fellow, Post Carbon
