About this product
Product Information
Making Local Food Work is an ideal introduction to what local food means today and what it might be tomorrow. By listening to and working alongside people trying to build a local food system in Iowa, Brandi Janssen uncovers the complex realities of making it work. She asks how Iowa's small farmers and CSA owners deal with farmers' market regulations, neighbors who spray pesticides on crops or lawns, and sanitary regulations on meat processing and milk production. How can they meet the needs of large buyers like school districts? Is local food production benefitting rural communities as much as advocates claim? In answering these questions, Janssen displays the pragmatism and level-headedness one would expect of the heartland, much like the farmers and processors profiled here. It's doable, she states, but we're going to have to do more than shop at our local farmers' market to make it happen.

Reviews
In the age of the locavore, Janssen's text examines the movement from the perspective of the farmer, combining research with incisive, yet practical, analysis. Much of the content is based on the author's direct research with farms and farmers. This includes conversations, many of which appear in the book verbatim, and periods of time that the author spends absorbing the local farm experience. However, this is, in its own right, an academically researched work, relying as much on statistics and facts as on the experiences of the farmers with whom Janssen interacted in the course of its creation. The combination is particularly powerful in conjunction with the author's highly readable style. No farmer with locavore aspirations can afford to miss this stimulating piece of work., In the age of the locavore, Janssen's text examines the movement from the perspective of the farmer, combining research with incisive, yet practical, analysis.

However, this is, in its own right, an academically researched work, relying as much on statistics and facts as on the experiences of the farmers with whom Janssen interacted in the course of its creation. The combination is particularly powerful in conjunction with the author's highly readable style. No farmer with locavore aspirations can afford to miss this stimulating piece of work., Making Local Food Work really focuses on a missing piece in much of the local foods literature: the pieces along the value chain between the farmer and the consumer. Janssen also recognizes that conventional and local food systems share a lot in common., Through her account of small-scale farming 'in a large farm state,' Janssen takes us beyond the binaries to see how local food and industrial agriculture intersect in surprising ways. Writing with empathy, clarity, and a healthy dose of realism, Janssen shows us that there's a whole lot in between the farmer and the consumer in local food., Janssen has a great gift for making complex issues understandable to a wide range of readers. Making Local Food Work provides the reader with very understandable stories that reveal the actual experiences of farmers and all the parties they work with and relate to without oversimplifying the issues.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
