{"product_id":"food-freedom-carlo-petrini-9780847846856","title":"Food \u0026 Freedom: How the Slow Food Movement Is Changing the World Through Gastronomy","description":"Inspiring the global fight to revolutionize the way food is grown, distributed, and eaten. In the almost thirty years since Carlo Petrini began the Slow Food organization, he has been constantly engaged in the fight for food justice. Beginning first in his native Italy and then expanding all over the world, the movement has created a powerful force for change. \u003cbr\u003eThe essential argument of this book is that food is an avenue towards freedom. This uplifting and humanistic message is straightforward: if people can feed themselves, they can be free. In other words, if people can regain control over access to their food--how it is produced, by whom, and how it is distributed--then that can lead to a greater empowerment in all channels of life. Whether in the Amazon jungle talking with tribal elders or on rice paddies in rural Indonesia, the author engages the reader through the excitement of his journeys and the passion of his mission. \u003cbr\u003eHere, Petrini reports upon some of the success stories that he has observed firsthand. From Chiapas to Puglia, Morocco to North Carolina, he has witnessed the many ways different peoples have dealt with food problems. This book allows us to learn from these case studies and lays out models for the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlo Petrini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0847846857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847846856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli International Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.60w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/25\/2016","brand":"Carlo Petrini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926635938047,"sku":"9780847846856","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_31283bba-8e39-49bc-8dee-60354fbedb71.jpg?v=1681084170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/food-freedom-carlo-petrini-9780847846856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
