Review: Bring Food Economy Home PB

User Review  - Katherine - Goodreads

This book reads really quick. In fact, I read all of it today on the train from Norwich to London. It gives a lot of good info on the impact of globalization on global food systems, from rural decay to creepy things about meat (and vegetables). Read full review
