Dana James and Evan Bowness’ book, Growing and eating sustainably: Agroecology in action, provides a portrayal of existing sites of a radically different food system than our present industrial one. The authors explore the origin of agroecology as a social movement, before expanding on the ways in which grower-eater relations can and are being strengthened in southern Brazil. Finally, they envision a future of global food systems that centre the justice and intersectionality explicit within the agroecological movement. The authors’ presentation of both photography and text draws individual stories out from abstract notions of ideal futures and brings them to life with their particularities.
