Against the Grain

How Farmers Around the Globe Are Transforming Agriculture to Nourish the World and Heal the Planet

Beschreibung

Modern industrial agriculture practices were stripping the land and starving the very families tasked with growing the world's food, until some farmers made the bold choice to try something new-regenerating the land and nourishing their communities by working with nature instead of bending it to their will.
