Download Where Am I Eating?: An Adventure Through the Global Food Economy AudioBook Free
Bridges the gap between global farmers and fishermen and American consumers. America now imports doubly much food as it did a decade ago. What does this increased reliance on imported food mean for individuals around the world who produce our food? Kelsey Timmerman lay out on a worldwide quest to meet up with the farmers and fisherman who expand and get our food, working alongside them: launching lobster boats in Nicaragua, splitting cocoa coffee beans with a machete in Ivory Shoreline, and hauling tomato vegetables in Ohio. Where Am I Eating? says fascinating stories of the farmers and fishermen about the world who produce the meals we eat, describing what their lives are like and exactly how our habits have an effect on them. Where Am I Eating? shows how what we consume impacts the lives of individuals who produce our food, and explores the global food current economic climate including workers protection under the law, the global food crisis, reasonable trade, and immigration. Where Am I Eating? will not dispute for or resistant to the globalization of food, but personalizes it by watching the expectation and opportunity, and sometimes the shortage thereof, that your global food current economic climate offers to the world's poorest makers. Publisher Kelsey Timmerman has spoken at near to 100 schools around the world about his first booklet, Where Am I Putting on: A WORLDWIDE Travel of the Countries, Factories, and folks That Make Our Clothes. He has been included in the Financial Times and has talked about public issues on NPR's Have a discussion of the Nation and Fox Media Radio.
