Take a survey, ponder some books

Roots of Change talks directly to readers

The agricultural nonprofit Roots of Change recently posted a survey asking readers to rate their top food-and-farming issues. Do you care more, for example, about environmental issues, or access to healthy food, or labor issues, or farming security? Take the survey yourself to share your opinion.

Roots of Change also posted the results of a Facebook poll asking readers to list their favorite sustainable-food books from this summer. The winners? Barry Estabrook’s Tomatoland, Jonathan Bloom’s American Wasteland, Paul Greenberg’s Four Fish, Gary Paul Nabhan, Kraig Kraft, and Kurt Michael Friese’s Chasing Chiles, and yet another book on fowl fancying titled Keeping Pet Chickens.
