Buying
food direct from small-scale local growers, it is possible to eat healthily
and deliciously, at the same time contributing to the well-being of the planet.
Packed with fascinating facts on food and nutrition, Local Harvest examines
the many benefits of consuming fresh local produce. Good food cost less when
it's local!
Kate de Selincourt contrasts delicious local food with the unsavoury effects
of supermarket led food production. For instance, she analyses the commercial
ploys which depict rural scenes on packaging, when the likelihood is that
the product has journeyed around the world and has been mummified by additives
and preservatives.
Check out Local Harvest for a nourishing alternative and savings that add
up.
'A spirited plea for a change in the insane and doomed way in which we feed ourselves and a heartening greenprint for the future. If this book only attacked the follies of industrial farming and factory feeding it would be a polemic; it is something more substantial - a vision of a green and pleasant future which lifts the spirits.'
