Throughout the United States, people are increasingly concerned
about where their food comes from, how it is produced, and how its
production affects individuals and their communities. The answers
to these questions reveal a complex web of interactions. While
large, distant farms and multinational companies dominate at
national and global levels, innovative programs including farmers'
markets, farm-to-school initiatives, and agritourism are forging
stronger connections between people and food at local and regional
levels. At all levels of the food system, energy use, climate
change, food safety, and the maintenance of farmland for the future
are critical considerations. The need to understand food
systems--what they are, who's involved, and how they work (or
don't)--has never been greater.
Food, Farms, and Community: Exploring Food Systems takes an
in-depth look at critical issues, successful programs, and
challenges for improving food systems spanning a few miles to a few
thousand miles. Case studies that delve into the values that drive
farmers, food advocates, and food entrepreneurs are interwoven with
analysis supported by the latest research. Examples of
entrepreneurial farms and organizations working together to build
sustainable food systems are relevant to the entire country--and
reveal results that are about much more than fresh food.
