The Conservation Couplets AcknowledgementsReviewsUsing remarkable insights and examples, Gary Nabhan brings together collaborative conservation and food in a way that will challenge, inspire, and motivate all of us to become better stewards, harvesters, and consumers. --Bill McDonald, rancher and cofounder of the Malpai Borderlands Group Gary Paul Nabhan's newest work is a jewel in the crown of understanding the unique opportunities embedded in our local food systems. He is a master at showing us a holistic vision that leaves no stone unturned. --Michael Twitty, author of The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South In this moving, essential collection of stories, Gary Paul Nabhan introduces us to the unsung heroes of biocultural restoration. Rallying to the fundamental human work of feeding their neighbors, these inspiring leaders demonstrate that we can restore our environment and our communities at the same time--and in the process, we might just restore our collective faith in the promise of democracy. --Liz Carlisle, author of Lentil Underground and lecturer, Stanford University In Food from the Radical Center, Gary Paul Nabhan provides a number of rich and detailed accounts from across the country illustrating that, in a world of ecological and social crisis, ideological differences can be put aside to work together for the common good around basic human needs--clean air and water, biodiversity, food security and community. --Bioneers At its heart, Food from the Radical Center is neither about the numbers nor the studies that report them; instead, it is an up close and personal look at the local people who have defined what 'collaborative conservation looks like on the ground.' Written in the first person and often directly addressing the reader, it is also something of a life review of the work to which Nabhan has been passionately dedicated for the past 50 years. --Santa Fe New Mexican A thought-provoking collection. --Library Journal Food from the Radical Center connects how we eat with how we live through stories of true collaboration, of people coming together across borders to repair soils, habitats, and the health of species. This important book calls on each of us to help restore and re-story the nation's capacity to feed and nourish--it also honors the geography of home. --Lauret Savoy, author of Trace: Memory, History, Race, and the American Landscape Both informational and inspirational, this [book] will be of interest to foodies, conservationists, and environmentalists alike. --Booklist Gary Paul Nabhan's newest work is a jewel in the crown of understanding the unique opportunities embedded in our local food systems.
