Food, Inc. 2: Inside the Quest for a Better Future for Food - Paperback

by Participant (Editor), Karl Weber (Editor)

An eye-opening guide to how America feeds itself, and an essential companion to the documentary.

America's food system is broken, harming family farmers, workers, the environment, and our health. But it doesn't have to be this way. In Food, Inc. 2, brilliant innovators, scientists, journalists and activists explain how we can create a hopeful new future for food--if we have the courage to seize the moment.

In 2008, the award-winning documentary Food, Inc. shook up our perceptions of what we ate. Now, the movie's timely sequel and this companion book addresses the remarkable developments in the world of food--from lab-grown meat to the burgeoning food sovereignty movement--that have unfolded since then.

This book is the perfect roadmap to understanding not only our current dysfunctional food system, but also what each of us can do to help reform it.
