Description: Drawing on prodigious fieldwork and research, experts Jennifer Meta Robinson and James Robert Farmer unlock the passion for and promise of local food movements, show us how they unfold practically in towns and on farms, and make a persuasive argument for how much they deeply matter to all of us.
Review Quotes:
"In addressing both the theoretical and the practical, Selling Local achieves a vision for the future of local food, while managing to simultaneously provide guidance for actors within the food system interested in amplifying the success of this movement. The book is a refreshing reminder of both the rapid success of the local food movement and the challenges it faces in today's sociopolitical and environmental context."--Agriculture and Human Values
