Useful book that shows a multitude of approaches to building food system pieces, especially garden projects. The stories are well written and best of all, they are followed by a description of the organizing techniques each used for their project.
Easy to pick up and read a profile and then put aside and get something done yourself. Highly recommended for food organizers and city activists.

Not what I thought it would be but it does give some interesting information about the different movements going on in this country.
LOVED this book. After the first chapter, I wanted to get up and get my hands dirty. The author not only describes various urban food movements across the US, but details how we can help out and start our own sustainable projects. As much as I dislike getting dirty, I'm ready to find a farm or CSA where I can help make an impact.

It is a very interesting look at alternative means of food production outside of giant agribusiness. Interesting stories of CSAs, urban farms, farmers markets, co-ops, etc. Lots of great ideas.
