À propos de cet e-book
'Farm to Table' offers a comprehensive exploration of modern food systems, revealing the intricate journey our food takes from field to plate while making a compelling case for local and sustainable agriculture. Through extensive research and real-world examples, the book illuminates how the average food item travels an astounding 1,500 miles before reaching consumers, significantly impacting both nutritional value and environmental footprint.
The narrative skillfully weaves together insights from farmers, distributors, and restaurateurs to present a holistic view of our current food landscape. Beginning with a historical perspective of post-World War II industrial agriculture, the book progresses through an examination of present-day farming practices before delving into alternative models and their potential.
The analysis covers various successful initiatives, from urban farming projects to community-supported agriculture programs, demonstrating how regional food systems can deliver fresher produce while strengthening local economies. Through case studies spanning different geographical regions, the book presents practical evidence of sustainable agriculture's viability.
What sets this work apart is its balanced approach to complex issues, combining academic research with accessible explanations and actionable insights. The book connects agricultural practices with broader themes of economic resilience, environmental sustainability, and community wellness, offering practical frameworks for implementing sustainable food systems.
Whether you're a food industry professional, policy maker, or conscious consumer, this comprehensive guide provides valuable understanding of how local food networks can transform both our meals and our communities while addressing pressing environmental challenges.
