Reclaiming Our Food, new book by Tanya Denckla Cobb

Reclaiming Our Food (Book Review)

By Jason Fowler on 05/17/2012

“Across America, the grassroots food movement seems to be arising from a common feeling that we have lost our center…This book tells the story of people who are seeking to find a new center, to create meaning and purpose in their lives, to restore harmony and balance in their relationships with the land, food and each other…”

Health for Godly Generations by Renee DeGroot

Health For Godly Generations (Book Excerpt)

By Jason Fowler on 02/05/2012

In her book Health for Godly Generations, the author Renee DeGroot has compiled a deeply thoughtful and provoking conversation…I consider this book to be a solid entry into the growing Christian conversation on health, food and the multi-faceted issues that surround this element of our lives.

Biosolids: an assault to our land and our communities

Dark Soil: Ending the Land Application of Biosolids In America

By Jason Fowler on 11/30/2011

I came home the other night to the thick stench of biosolids (treated sewage sludge) on the wind. The trucks had been driving past our cabin for days…While you may have never heard of biosolids the battle to stop it’s application on agricultural and public lands has been raging for many years…

What does permaculture have in common with Christian faith? More than you think.

Permaculture and Christian Faith (Part 1)

By Melody Adele Connally on 10/28/2011

When, a few years ago, I read through a summary of David Holmgren‘s “Permaculture Principals,” it had struck me how well it fit into the kind of pursuit of Jesus that is aligned with a pursuit of the kingdom of heaven…

American Meat (film trailer)

By Jason Fowler on 07/08/2011

What I find unique about this film project is they seem to be using it as merely a starting point for action. The film American Meat is apparently connected with a video-based social network called Leave It Better and another sister project Harvest Cloud…

Farmageddon (movie trailer)

Farmageddon (movie trailer)

By Jason Fowler on 03/27/2011

“Farmageddon exposes the battle over food rights in America. Farmer’s and consumers start food co-ops and buying clubs or homesteads, and then are shut down by the government in the name of food safety.”
