The introduction and chapter 1 from Ken Meter's book, Building Community Food Webs. https://islandpress.org/books/building-community-food-webs
"Ken Meter is the most warmly-regarded and innovative mentor and hero among food activists all across the American continent. Many of the most pragmatic solutions for regional food communities have emerged out of Ken's deep reflection, micro-economic analysis, and crisp communications. Meter is not just another food writer; he is a national treasure."
--Gary Paul Nabhan (Brother Coyote, OEF), author of "Jesus for Farmers and Fishers: Justice for All Those Marginalized by Our Food System"
