THE LOCAL FOOD REVOLUTION: Author Gord Hume explores the relationship food has with building strong communities, how it is changing neighbourhoods and local economies, and how food and food-related issues have become critical new challenges for municipal councils.
The book also offers an unblinking look at how life in rural communities is being disrupted, the pressures on the family farm, and the steadily increasing sprawl of urban centres into green lands. Attention then turns to the shifts in the economy and the business operations of the food industry that are impacting traditional local economies and prosperity. This book also examines our fragile food chain and how vulnerable our society is to cracks in these vital linkages.
