HUNGRY CITY

Hungry City
by Carolyn Steel

This has been on my to read list for a while. We have recommended Sitopia previously which is her most recent book. We are fans of Carolyn Steel no doubt and her work is a great overview for us on how we need to see how food shapes our world. Hungry City is published over a decade ago but so relevant and even more so now.
 
How do you feed a city? So many of our population now live in cities and are being actively encouraged to make the move from rural to urban. 15 minute cities are touted as a selling point for quality of life. But how do you feed a huge number of people this way? Trains and corporations have changed everything along the way. But so too is the disconnect from our food supply… and all the problems that brings. Reframing how we view and value food is the journey we need to make and this book is just the ticket to get there.
