poverty alleviation

My book, Fair Food: Growing a Healthy, Sustainable Food System for All (PublicAffairs), examines our current food system in the United States and how it has failed to provide enough quality food, particularly for low-income, urban communities. This has in turn contributed to the increase in diet-related health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. I wrote the book to help people who care about our food shift from concerned consumers to engaged citizens.
