The following curated selection reflects the complexity of the sustainability category of food production and farming and points out the opportunity for us to make more capable decisions about the food we buy and eat as well as move us beyond the more common conversations around organic products and nutrition, especially dieting. Hopefully at least several of the eight will be conversation starters for you around the dinner table, at work, and in community meetings.
