2019 Midwest Book Award for Nature 2020 High Plains Book Award
Finalist 2020 Silver Nautilus Book Award Winner in Green Living and
Sustainability “Sustainable” has long been the rallying
cry of agricultural progressives; given that much of our nation’s
farm and ranch land is already degraded, however, sustainable
agriculture often means maintaining a less-than-ideal status quo.
Industrial agriculture has also co-opted the term for marketing
purposes without implementing better practices. Stephanie
Anderson argues that in order to provide nutrient-rich
food and fight climate change, we need to move beyond sustainable
to regenerative agriculture, a practice that is highly tailored to
local environments and renews resources. In One Size Fits
None Anderson follows diverse farmers across the United
States: a South Dakota bison rancher who provides
an alternative to the industrial feedlot; an organic vegetable
farmer in Florida
who harvests microgreens; a New Mexico
super-small farmer who revitalizes communities; and a North Dakota
midsize farmer who combines livestock and grain farming to convert
expensive farmland back to native prairie. The use of these
nontraditional agricultural techniques show how varied operations
can give back to the earth rather than degrade it. This book
will resonate with anyone concerned about the future of food
in America, providing guidance for creating a better,
regenerative agricultural future. Download a discussion guide
