Editorial Reviews

With biting satire and wit, Turner speaks to the heart of the problems we face with industrial agriculture.

Cameron Farlow

"Part Appalachian tall tale, part thoughtful critique of the global systems that feed us, Turner weaves an engaging story about people working together to create a new way to eat that is better for land, community, and the planet."

Laura Lengnick

An eye-opening look at the future of the American farm and a revolutionary blueprint to overcome global food and climate challenges

Kelly Anne Blount

Warmer climate means two things: floods and drought… When that happens, crops fail. And when that starts to happen on a global scale mass migration becomes a strategic problem. There will be food shortages. There will be border wars. There will be water scarcity and countries will fight over water. Countries will fight over the fact that migrants are going from one country to another.

Mike McConnell

"The power to discuss the modern food system in America with humor and heroes is one tall order. This book has done it. A captivating read!
