America's food system is broken, harming family farmers, workers, the environment, and our health. But it doesn't have to be this way. Here, brilliant innovators, scientists, journalists and activists explain how we can create a hopeful new future for food, if we have the courage to seize the moment.

In 2008, the award-winning documentary Food, Inc. shook up our perceptions of what we ate. Now, the movie's timely sequel and this new companion book will address the remarkable developments in the world of food-from lab-grown meat to the burgeoning food sovereignty movement-that have unfolded since then.

Featuring thought-provoking original essays from:

Michael Pollan
Eric Schlosser
David E. Kelley and Andrew Zimmern
Senator Cory Booker
Sarah E. Lloyd
Carlos A. Monteiro and Geoffrey Cannon
Lisa Elaine Held
Larissa Zimberoff
Saru Jayaraman
Christiana Musk
Nancy Easton
Leah Penniman
David LeZaks and Lauren Manning
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers

This book is the perfect roadmap to understanding not only our current dysfunctional food system, but also what each of us can do to help reform it.
