In a sea of stories about the perils facing U.S. farms amidst climate change, economic problems, and a myriad of other challenges, Anderson’s (One Size Fits None: A Farm Girl’s Search for the Promise of Regenerative Agriculture) latest offers a breath of fresh air and hope. She contends that a band of women farmers, politicians, scientists, and other community leaders are paving the way toward a more productive, safer, greener agricultural future. This woman-led effort toward regenerative agriculture is an in-depth discussion in this work. Many readers will be motivated by the groundbreaking efforts of those involved in this movement. Anderson contends that the current model of industrial agriculture contributes to a food system motivated by profit rather than social responsibility and nutrition. Her book details the exact ways that women are working to improve agricultural systems to make the model safer and more beneficial for consumers moving forward.
VERDICT An important contribution to agriculture literature that is sure to appeal to numerous readers. They will enjoy the uplifting message of this book as well as the stories showcasing the grit and determination of those working in this field.
