Reclaiming Our Food Blog
I straddle two worlds – the academic world where people are trying to build understanding about our food system, and the grassroots world where people are doing something concrete in their own community to improve their food.
As I conducted research for my new book, Reclaiming Our Food, I was amazed at how many people are hungry for the both kinds of information – the big picture and the practical. People I sat next to on planes, people I met in airports, or in stores, without fail everyone had a personal story to tell about food. And equally without fail, everyone also had a personal concern about the impact of food – on a parent, sibling, child, or even on their own health.
With this BLOG, I want to help people learn about both the big picture and the practical, to help us all spiral toward a better future.
I welcome your feedback, as well as your ideas for noteworthy projects! (For more on the purpose of this BLOG, see my May 1, 2011 post).
