Reviews of Nourished Planet: Sustainability in the Global Food System

"Provides viable strategies for building a food system that better sustains our bodies, environment, and communities. As both an organic farmer and a policymaker, I wholeheartedly appreciate the effort."–Congresswoman Chellie Pingree "This is a recipe book with powerful bite and lasting flavor. Its enticing instructions could actually save us, and life on earth, from disaster."–Tristram Stuart, founder of Feedback and author of "Waste: Uncovering a Global Food Scandal" "Nourished Planet not only shows how sustainable practices produce healthy food, but also demonstrates their economic viability. These are the solutions that will TRULY feed the planet."–Forrest Pritchard, sustainable farmer and author of "Gaining Ground" "Nourished Planet reiterates what a small segment of the farmers are trying to do: not feed the world, but feed the world better. This book is an important reminder that respecting the Earth is better for the farmers, the animals, the environment, and the consumer."–Paul Willis, founding hog farmer and President of Niman Ranch Pork Company "One of the more important books to come out this year. Nourished Planet takes on the hyper-critical issues of today–sustainability, hunger, the future of our planet–and approaches them in a way that we can all understand."–Jose Andres, chef and advocate "From A to Z, Nourished Planet is an encyclopedia for the future of food."–Dan Barber, chef/co-owner, Blue Hill, and author of "The Third Plate"
