Bringing It to the Table: On Farming and Food by Wendell Berry

2.0

First section on farming is fantastic, clearly explaining the dangers of our current agribusiness setup. The second section, on farmers, is more detailed looks at individual farms; I found it mostly skimmable, as it was more detail than I was interested in. The final section, on food, is mostly selections from his fiction writings -- interesting to see context of the previous generation's interactions with food and each other, but it is fiction out of context, so I also moved to skimming that pretty quickly. The final essay is the most valuable (at least as a city dweller), offering guidance for how to eat more sustainably and have a more holistic (that is, contextually rooted) relationship with food and land (which, Berry reminds us, are inseparable).
