Fighting the Food Crisis, NC

Sunday, August 16. 3:00 PM. Author reading and book signing by Aaron Newton, co-author of A Nation of Farmers: Fighting the Food Crisis on American Soil. Quail Ridge Books, Ridgewood Shopping Center, Raleigh.

The book explores the limits and dangers of our globalized and industrialized food system and argues that the food crisis is a direct result of our current food system. It predicts increasing hunger - the starvation of tens of millions in the poor world and more and more hungry Americans desperately trying to keep fed - unless we radically re-envision and relocalize our food system.
Aaron Newton resides and farms in Concord, NC.
