When author and homesteader Nicole Faires decided to retrofit an
old school bus and tour America's small farms with her husband and
two small children, she expected to learn a lot, be inspired, and
have some fun. But what she found disturbed her. Mismanaged small
farms; clueless urbanites setting up shop to "get back to the
land"; a mindless devotion to organic farming; and, ultimately, the
discovery of just how dependent we are on corporations for our
food. She began to understand how dangerous and fragile our food
system really is. Climate change. Farmers retiring or going out of
business. Corporations controlling our food distribution system
while being protected from the consequences when they endanger our
health. Skyrocketing food prices. Outsourced food production. With
this admittedly bleak assessment of the current state of affairs,
Nicole and her family decided to abandon the bus trip and instead
start a farm. "I couldn't tell people the solutions to our food
crisis while I was traipsing around America taking photos. I had to
live it," Nicole says. And so the seeds for Food Confidential were
sown. Our basic right to healthy food is at risk. What can we do?
Written in an astute, engaging style, armed with examples from her
own homesteading lifestyle, small farmer Nicole Faires's Food
Confidential gives you the tools to fight the intangible battles,
as well as the practical ones.
