About this item

Small steps can create big changes in your communitys food quality and food security, helping to get more healthy food to more people and support a better food system. Ali Berlow shows you dozens of things that anyone can do, from creating a neighborhood kitchen for preserving fresh food to mapping farmland, connecting food pantries with food producers, starting a school garden, and organizing a community composting initiative. Every action you take can help keep farmers on the land and family farms intact, keep money in the local economy, reduce the carbon footprint associated with food transportation, and preserve local landscapes. If youve had enough of E. coli scares, disappearing farmland, pesticide problems, and hunger in your community, this inspiring book will show you exactly how one person really can make a difference.

Ali Berlow

Transparent, Licensed and Humane: The Mobile Poultry Slaughterhouse"You look too nice to have written this." she said, pointing at the title of my pink-covered book. "Truth in advertising." I said smiling. "With recipes included."Surely she must've conjured savagery, gore and worse. However, everything that my book is, is most definitely not that. Not even close.Humane poultry slaughterhouses are necessary because people eat chicken. Lots of it. They're essentially non-existent to small-family farmers who would raise broilers if only they had access to affordable, ethical, permitted, and environmentally-sound, animal-welfare approved, humane options. And eaters want fresh, local chicken that is matchless in taste, trust and traceability.So who builds such a thing? If I can, you can too, you beautiful person. Let's get to work!The Mobile Poultry Slaughterhouse: Building a Humane Chicken Processing Unit to Strengthen Your Local Food System. Foreword by Temple Grandin.
