What people have been saying about this class:
Sounds like an interesting course…I'm not a hardline advocate of local food, and I'd encourage you to add some fair trade products from developing countries, as a way of educating your students about fair trade issues.
Peter Singer, author of The Way We Eat
I might add to the list Joan Gussow's book on eating locally, This Organic Life, and Gary Nabhan's book on the same experiment...Best of luck, sounds like a great project. Michael.
Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma
This sounds like a great course. Definitely do some farm visits, and have some farmers come talk to kids--especially about the economics of small farming. You are going to have so much fun!
Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy
And what could serve as a class credo:
I bow to the seasons, they help give us a framework for what we should be cooking. I don't want to serve asparagus all year long...
