Anthropologist Andrew Flachs's new book
explores the food system through the lens of values like soil
health, human health, biodiversity, and rural communities—not just
profits and yields.
In his new book, Feeding the World as if People Mattered: How
Small Farms Produce Value Beyond Yields, he shows how we
could, by expanding our accounting to include people and the
biosphere, have a thriving food system that actually benefits life
itself.
