| Food Books to Inspire Action in 2020 |
| Looking for a fresh food read to dig into? Resolved to take action in 2020? We asked some local friends and partners who are creating change in our food system—from food media and education, to food justice and anti-pesticide action—for some books that have shaped the way they approach their work in food (including a couple favorites from our team). These books will help to deepen your understanding of our complex food system, and inspire you to go beyond voting with your forks to taking action in your community. |
