More and more people want to go back to knowing where their food comes from. There
is an increasing people-powered focus on the transformation from global food systems to regionally and sustainably produced food. For example, within the space of a few short years
a diverse range of innovative social developments have sprung up, from urban gardening to community-supported agriculture.
The latest of these are »nutrition councils«.
The intention is to become an important tool in modern communal politics, as food is political. So why not use something as vital as our food to encourage our cities to enrich communal life and to sustain a healthy environment?
The book shows how powerful this kind of networking is and aims to help cities to start feeding themselves from their local regions again.
