520 "Our current food system has decimated rural communities
and confined the choices of urban consumers. Even while
America continues to ramp up farm production to astounding
levels, net farm income is now lower than at the onset of
the Great Depression, and one out of every eight Americans
faces hunger. But a healthier and more equitable food
system is possible. In Building Community Food Webs, Ken
Meter shows how grassroots food and farming leaders across
the U.S. are tackling these challenges by constructing
civic networks. Overturning extractive economic structures,
these inspired leaders are engaging low-income residents,
farmers, and local organizations in their quest to build
stronger communities. Community food webs strive to build
health, wealth, capacity, and connection. Their essential
element is building greater respect and mutual trust, so
community members can more effectively empower themselves
and address local challenges. Farmers and researchers may
convene to improve farming practices collaboratively.
Health clinics help clients grow food for themselves and
attain better health. Food banks engage their customers to
challenge the root causes of poverty. Municipalities
invest large sums to protect farmland from development.
Developers forge links among local businesses to
strengthen economic trade. Leaders in communities
marginalized by our current food system are charting a new
path forward. Building Community Food Webs captures the
essence of these efforts, underway in diverse places
including Montana, Hawaii, Vermont, Arizona, Colorado,
Indiana, and Minnesota. Addressing challenges as well as
opportunities, Meter offers pragmatic insights for
community food leaders and other grassroots activists
alike."--|cProvided by Freading
