Rave reviews for new book on farms and food

LINCOLN, Neb. - Dec. 3, 2019 - PRLog -- My new book, Deep Agroecology: Farms, Food, and Our Future, has been earning positive reviews. Inspired back in 2012 by a UNL professor's provocative question, independent journalist Steven McFadden pondered the question for seven years to write Deep Agroecology. The Lincoln author's book was just published on November 1 by  Light and Sound Press.


"I wrote Deep Agroecology for America and for the general public, as well as for students. My intent is to explain the urgent context and concepts of agroecology, not only in America but globally. I also sought to expand the concept of agroecology by going deep into our native roots in the Americas, including subtle dimensions concerning our human relationship with the natural world."

Here's a sample of some early comments and reviews of Deep Agroecology. You can find more at one of the author's websites: DeepAgroecology.net

"…deep agroecology" is more than the promotion of another growing system. It represents a fundamental change in the perceptions of humans about the choices they make in planting, harvesting, and eating food...The result is a hard-hitting, powerful survey that takes the food system ideal a step further by interrelating it to pursuits of justice, freedom, and health for the entire planet…" ~ Midwest Book Reviews (11/2019)

"Thank you, Steven McFadden, for rich and moving clarity, as you weave for us the many threads of 'deep agroecology.' The vision you capture is not a choice, for in this dire moment for our Earth, it is life's only possibility forward." ~ Frances Moore Lappé, author Diet for a Small Planet, and cofounder of Food First and the Small Planet Institute

"... The future of humanity depends on our heeding the wisdom of deep agroecology." – John Ikerd, agricultural economist and author of Crisis and Opportunity: Sustainability in American Agriculture (http://amzn.to/1e6Qgj6).
