Creating and Deepening Grower-Eater Relations
From: Growing and Eating Sustainably
$2.80
In this chapter the authors maintain that a stronger connection between growers and eaters is crucial for developing more environmentally sound and socially just food systems. In addition to market-based transactions, they describe other kinds of relationships forged between urban people and the people and lands that grow agroecological food, such as agritourism initiatives and co-farmer visits. In addition, urban agroecological initiatives that promise to help close the metabolic rift through community-based urban composting programs are described.
