What A Farmer Wants You to Know About Food

Do you brace yourself before you step into the grocery store every week? List in hand, budget in mind, prepared to navigate the minefield of labels and claims in the name of nourishing your family? "Organic...free-range...grain-fed...local...GMO-free water?? I just want to take care of my family." Grocery shopping should feel good. You should be able to feed yourself and your family without worrying you chose the wrong product. You've got questions-good ones, and for good reasons. You're experiencing information overload, getting all sorts of conflicting information every day...and unfortunately, most of the information out there isn't from the people best equipped to speak: the people who grow it. Until now. You have questions about how your food is grown. This book gives you a science-based perspective about not only how it's grown, but why, so you can feel good again about the food you and your family eat. What a Farmer Wants You to Know About Food seeks to add the farmer's voice to the mainstream conversation about where our food comes from. From GMOs to pesticides, from preservatives to fertilizers-and even the ethics of food production, this book answers the questions you have (and probably a few you didn't know you had!).
