Sinossi

'Farm to Table' offers a comprehensive exploration of modern food systems, revealing the intricate journey our food takes from field to plate while making a compelling case for local and sustainable agriculture. Through extensive research and real-world examples, the book illuminates how the average food item travels an astounding 1,500 miles before reaching consumers, significantly impacting both nutritional value and environmental footprint.The narrative skillfully weaves together insights from farmers, distributors, and restaurateurs to present a holistic view of our current food landscape. Beginning with a historical perspective of post-World War II industrial agriculture, the book progresses through an examination of present-day farming practices before delving into alternative models and their potential.The analysis covers various successful initiatives, from urban farming projects to community-supported agriculture programs, demonstrating how regional food systems can deliver fresher produce while strengthening local economies. Through case studies spanning different geographical regions, the book presents practical evidence of sustainable agriculture's viability.What sets this work apart is its balanced approach to complex issues, combining academic research with accessible explanations and actionable insights. The book connects agricultural practices with broader themes of economic resilience, environmental sustainability, and community wellness, offering practical frameworks for implementing sustainable food systems.Whether you're a food industry professional, policy maker, or conscious consumer, this comprehensive guide provides valuable understanding of how local food networks can transform both our meals and our communities while addressing pressing environmental challenges.

    A nerdy farmer—and doctor with expertise in nutrition—provides insight into how best to prepare and savor vegetables while recounting his journey in building an organic vegetable farm and discovering the family that farmed the same land some 200 years ago. 
  
Dr. Michael Compton shares his passionate approach to savoring vegetables daily from across eight plant families: the Brassicas, the Alliums, the Legumes, the Chenopods, the Aster Greens, the Umbellifers, the Cucurbits, and the Nightshades. Trading in city life for an old stone house and a fertile field in the scenic and historic Hudson Valley, New York, Compton built a compact, organic-certified vegetable, fruit, and flower farm. Sharing the joy and proud successes—like selling piles of gorgeous rainbow chard at the farmers market—as well as funny personal admissions—like failing at spinach every year and crying over stolen cabbage—you will discover the nutritive properties of numerous vegetables and be inspired to savor them as Compton does. In building his farm, Compton uncovered who farmed his fertile land long before him, coming to feel kinship with the Delamater family by understanding how they farmed and ate some 200 years ago. 
  
As a doctor of lifestyle medicine, prevention, and psychiatry, Compton shares lighthearted scientific facts, including why onions make us cry and beets can make our pee pink, while giving nutritional facts and “Free Health Advice.” And as a farmer, he recounts his delights in growing a bounty of clean, delicious, and nutritious food for himself and others. You might even find yourself wanting to test the greenness of your thumbs or determining whether or not you, too, are a natural-born berry picker.

Mezze is a style of dining in the Mediterranean and Middle East, consisting of delicious appetizers or small plates served with drinks. Mezze can't be traced back to any one country in particular but the word is believed to originate from the Turkish word meaning snack or appetizer.

Middle Eastern food inherently attracts people looking for healthier options – this means plenty of salad, as well as main dishes that are grilled rather than fried. This fantastic collection of fresh recipes include Dips & Salads, Cheese & Savoury Pastries, Beans & Vegetables, Fish & Seafood and Meat & Poultry. Recipes can range from simple little plates of marinated olives, stuffed vine leaves or a tahini dip and flatbreads, to more substantial dishes, such as lamb skewers, giant beans baked with garlic and tomatoes or a delicious plate of salt and pepper squid. Delve into this fresh and delicious selection of recipes to create your own mezze meal at home. Mezze is a compilation of previously published favourites.
