Publisher's Synopsis
Michael Brownlee, cofounder of the nonprofit Local Food Shift Group, issues a clarion call and manifesto for a revolutionary movement to localize the global food supply and lays out a practical guide for those who hope to navigate the challenging process of shaping the local or regional food system. Demonstrating that humanity faces a near-term and prolonged global food crisis, he provides a roadmap for embarking on the process of righting the profoundly unsustainable and already-failing global industrialized food system.
