Interest in the food we eat and how it is produced, distributed, and consumed has grown tremendously in the last few years. Consumers are exchanging highly processed, genetically engineered, chemical-laden, and pesticide-contaminated food often associated with big agribusinesses for fresh produce grown using organic methods. The growth of farmers markets from 1,755 in 1994 to over 7,500 today, in both urban and rural areas, is just one indication that consumers are interested in knowing who produced their food and how the food was produced.
This book addresses the importance of creating food systems that are sustainable by bringing together a number of experts in the fields of law, economics, nutrition, and social sciences, as well as farmers and advocates. These experts share their perspectives on some of the pressing issues related to sustainable food systems and offer solutions for achieving healthy, sustainable, and equitable food systems in the future.

M y first exposure to the sustainable food system movement happened in the early 1970s, when I was a student at the University of California, Santa Cruz. As a twenty-year-old sophomore, I was attracted to the Farm, an innovative project located on seventeen acres of rich, fertile soil and inspired by the principles of biodynamic agriculture, with a clear view of the ever-changing Monterey Bay. It was here that I came to understand that the food system as it was then functioning would not sustain our global population, which is increasing at an alarming rate. And I was living, day to day, in a different relationship with the earth and farming in a different way that could, in fact, prove to be an alternative model. The Farm has since become the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, a training ground for hundreds of apprentices in organic farming techniques, and one of the many places where young people have been finding ways to fuel the movement, which has grown by leaps and bounds since those days more than forty years ago.
