Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Reviews
Woven through stories that stretch decades, Building Community Food Webs gives critical insight into how communities have transformed agriculture and food economies. With a unique analysis of the economic landscape, Meter deftly highlights common threads that inspire the reader with multiple pathways and strategies., Connections, Convening, Collaboration and (reclaiming) Culture are the themes resonating through the eight stories of community food systems skillfully woven together by Ken Meter. Building Community Food Webs is illuminating for learning from the past and planning for the much-needed future of food system changes., It is an excellent primer on how local food systems can stanch the flow of wealth from rural communities and the importance of approaching these systems as social rather than logistical., From a hard-working visionary, Ken Meter's book is full of the good ideas that will strengthen the next generation's work to create food systems that foster equity and inclusivity. Ken provides us MUCH to learn and practice., Ken Meter is the most warmly-regarded and innovative mentor and hero among food activists all across the American continent. Many of the most pragmatic solutions for regional food communities have emerged out of Ken's deep reflection, micro-economic analysis, and crisp communications. Meter is not just another food writer; he is a national treasure.

Synopsis
Our current food system has decimated rural communities and confined the choices of urban consumers. Even while America continues to ramp up farm production to astounding levels, net farm income is now lower than at the onset of the Great Depression, and one out of every eight Americans faces hunger. But a healthier and more equitable food system is possible. In Building Community Food Webs, Ken Meter shows how grassroots food and farming leaders across the U.S. are tackling these challenges by constructing civic networks. Overturning extractive economic structures, these inspired leaders are engaging low-income residents, farmers, and local organizations in their quest to build stronger communities. Community food webs strive to build health, wealth, capacity, and connection. Their essential element is building greater respect and mutual trust, so community members can more effectively empower themselves and address local challenges. Farmers and researchers may convene to improve farming practices collaboratively. Health clinics help clients grow food for themselves and attain better health. Food banks engage their customers to challenge the root causes of poverty. Municipalities invest large sums to protect farmland from development. Developers forge links among local businesses to strengthen economic trade. Leaders in communities marginalized by our current food system are charting a new path forward. Building Community Food Webs captures the essence of these efforts, underway in diverse places including Montana, Hawai'i, Vermont, Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, and Minnesota. Addressing challenges as well as opportunities, Meter offers pragmatic insights for community food leaders and other grassroots activists alike., Our current food system has decimated rural communities and confined the choices of urban consumers.

    Due to unfortunate circumstances it looks like the postal service lost the original item. Seller was very prompt with communication in locating another copy and shipped it out ASAP. Fantastic customer service, communication, packaging, etc. 11/10, would buy again

    The item did not arrive at all (it was sent untracked from the US to the UK), but the seller issued a refund when I requested one, so although I didn't get the item, my interaction with this seller was positive and would be happy to buy from them again.
