Description: Building Community Food Webs, Paperback by Meter, Ken, ISBN 1642831476, ISBN-13 9781642831474, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Meter, a food system analyst who works in community capacity building, argues that food systems should build health, wealth, capacity, and connection in communities and that the prevailing system is failing in these areas, while local initiatives can provide solutions through collaboration with the wider community. He draws on his work with local food leaders across North America to describe food initiatives that have flourished since the mid-1980s. He discusses how the current commodity system has extracted wealth from rural communities through the farm economy; efforts to build community food webs in Montana, Hawaii, Arizona, Indiana, Ohio, Colorado, and Minnesota; key themes that arise as communities try to construct effective food webs, including connections between farmers and consumers, building resilient community-based food systems rather than focusing on promoting local food items, and the issue of scale; and the importance of collaboration, system levers, and business clusters.
