I’ve been reading grist by abra berens which is kind of a bible on how to cook whole grams and legumes - very useful - but actually has a ton of interesting info on agricultural policy and interviews with various stripes of midwestern farmer, and it’s quite eye opening. It’s from a more progressive leaning but midwestern perspective, and I don’t think I agree with berens on everything but it really highlights how complex and messy a lot of food system reform issues are from the people actually trying to make those changes
#Fixing monocropping for instance. Berens is really clear it’s not an individualized issue#But farmers also have to make money off of selling kohlrabi and buckwheat#And that means the avg consumer has to buy kohlrabi and buckwheat to create that market#And so on and so forth
