		<description><![CDATA[If one food is ubiquitous to the local food movement, it is the tomato. As we are in the harvest season, many of you are probably canning some this weekend! We&#8217;ve all come to realize that the fruit is incredibly delicious when picked ripe off the vine, but we&#8217;ve also learned that it doesn&#8217;t travel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This reference was originally published in 1881, but it is still a rich and relevant source of information. I stumbled upon the text and only began reading it because of my infatuation with barns. I quickly realized that I&#8217;d found a resource that many small-scale or hobby farmers would surely enjoy. Barns, Sheds &#38; Outbuildings: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the wealth of new books on homesteading, creating a backyard farm has never been easier. Sue Weaver&#8217;s guide The Backyard Goat (2011) is a great addition to the mix. The book is a comprehensive yet approachable reference for anyone considering goats. Goats are a great source of milk, fiber, labor and companionship, not to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, farming memoirs abound. We&#8217;ve featured many books on how a farmer was &#8220;grown,&#8221; such as The Dirty Life, Made From Scratch, Farm City and Goat Song. Growing a Farmer: How I Learned to Live Off the Land (2011) isn&#8217;t necessarily the most unique tale. But it is a great account of one modern farmer&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Author Simon Fairlie aggressively tackles the sensitive topic of eating animals in his new book Meat: A Benign Extravagance (out Feb. 8). His explicit purpose is to evaluate the sustainability of raising livestock&#8211;or the long-term ability to feed the human population while maintaining as much of the natural ecosystem as possible. Dietary health and morality, he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The US Farm Bill is a major point of contention among those concerned with human and environmental health. Most notably, the Farm Bill is responsible for subsidies paid to farmers for growing commodity grains on a large scale in order to provide a lot of cheap (and processed) food.

		<description><![CDATA[There is a perceived battle between ranchers and environmentalists. Ranchers intend to raise animals without consideration for the land, while environmentalists fight tooth and nail against the exploitation of nature. In reality, this couldn&#8217;t be further from the truth. Author Courtney White shows that these two groups hold nearly identical intentions in his book Revolution [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Ultimately, nearly every single major disease affecting modern human populations&#8211;whether bacterial, viral, parasitic, or noncommunicable&#8211;has its roots in the mismatch between our biology and the world we have created since the advent of agriculture.&#8221; 10,000 years ago, people began growing food instead of foraging.
