Fertile Ground: Scaling Agroecology from the Ground Up by Steven Brescia, Editor
GoodFood World, May 7th, 2017  Fertile Ground: Scaling Agroecology from the Ground Up, Steven Brescia, Editor (Food First Books, 2017) Agroecology is our best option for creating an agrifood system capable of nurturing people, societies, and the planet. But it is still not widespread.
