Agriculture as if people mattered : A values-based perspective on the food system

from Down to Earth: The Planet to Plate Podcast · host Radio Cafe, Quivira Coalition

Anthropologist Andrew Flachs's new book explores the food system through the lens of values like soil health, human health, biodiversity, and rural communities—not just profits and yields.   In his new book, Feeding the World as if People Mattered: How Small Farms Produce Value Beyond Yields, he shows how we could, by expanding our accounting to include people and the biosphere, have a thriving food system that actually benefits life itself.
