Author Description

Our food system is in crisis. Two years into a global pandemic, our food system is in crisis. Food essential to life should be equitable, affordable, sustainable, and healthy for all Americans. But the quality and accessibility of food in the U. S. have dipped to levels never seen before in our history. The recent infant formula shortage is an example of the food system's vulnerability. Thankfully, we are also living in the midst of an unprecedented era where unique and powerful opportunities exist to transform the food system in the U. S. The fate of our health and the planet's viability depends on it. In this groundbreaking book, Laurie Curry Copithorne calls for a transformation in the food industry from one tethered to profits to one whose foundation rests on a new paradigm based on love for the environment, human health, and the preservation of the planet. Laurie's ideas serve as a playbook designed to generate new thinking and connected strategy models and frameworks to ignite the imagination. She dares consumers and food producers to think differently-in a way that resonates with the natural world in mind. This book belongs on the desks of every politician, community leader, and consumer.
