ABSTRACT
Chapter 13 examines how we grow food, from smallholders and pastoralists in the Global South, to small farmers, to industrialized agriculture. It looks at issues of ecosystem health, human health, food waste, and the impact of meat diets, and discusses the importance of bees and other pollinators. A section on feeding ourselves looks at local food and food distribution and examines a variety of methods including organic farming, agroecology, conservation agriculture, and agroforestry. The chapter then looks at finding space for food in the city: in schools, yards, urban farms, community gardens, and on public lands.
