John Brueggemann interviewed dozens of farmers, chefs, non-profit managers, consumers, teachers, and healthcare providers. He argues that their individual stories point towards larger patterns that have shaped the alternative agro-food movement, and that other factors, including the environmental movement, farms, lifestyle movements, and consumers have all played a crucial role in its rise. The author concludes that the alternative agro-food movement is providing a countervailing force relative to mainstream market culture, and that instead of efficiency, profit, consumption, individualism and short-term thinking, the alternative agro-food movement emphasizes meaning, need, creation, community, and long-term thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Moral Foundations and Market Culture \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: The Ugly Story of the American Food System\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Grounding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Extraction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Processing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Distribution\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Consumption\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Stewardship\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Communication\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Patterns Among Engaged Sustainers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Social Sources of Engagement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: So What?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix A: Methods and Data\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix B: Central Cast of Characters\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendix C: Glossary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042029109591,"sku":"9781666930719","price":82.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/food-for-the-future-stories-from-the-alternative-agro-food-movement-9781666930719","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
