Meet the food radicals

They are 27 persons changing how we farm, how the food system operates, and how we eat. No two are the same, but all are far from ordinary. Some want to change how we farm to make it more sustainable, while others want to transform the food system in the name of social justice. Some seek to alter what we eat, while others want to change how and where we eat. They include regular farmers, but also farmers growing food without the sun or soil. They include architects, molecular biologists, Black Lives Matter activists, anarchists, undercover animal rights investigators, big farmers, small farmers, martial arts instructors, and more. Join us at the table to dine with 27 food radicals - and see the world of food as you have rarely seen it before.

Meet the Food Radicals introduces the reader to twenty-seven individuals to offer insight into practices and solutions that shape how we farm, how our food system operates, and how we eat. Neither valorizing nor criticizing any of the views, the authors aim for understanding and to "translate" different farming philosophies, food politics, and notions about how agriculture and the economy interact for a broader audience of economists, social scientists, and ordinary consumers.
