This book explores the connection between global farmers, fishermen, and American consumers, highlighting the implications of America's increasing reliance on imported food, which has doubled over the past decade. Kelsey Timmerman embarks on a journey to meet those who cultivate and harvest our food, sharing his experiences loading lobster boats in Nicaragua, splitting cocoa beans in Ivory Coast, and harvesting tomatoes in Ohio. Through engaging narratives, the book reveals the lives of these producers and the impact of consumer habits on their livelihoods. It delves into the global food economy, addressing critical issues such as workers' rights, the food crisis, fair trade, and immigration. Timmerman, an experienced speaker who has addressed nearly 100 schools worldwide, previously authored a book that examined the origins of our clothing. His insights have been featured in the Financial Times and discussed on platforms like NPR and Fox News Radio. Rather than taking a stance on food globalization, the book personalizes the topic by showcasing the hope and challenges faced by the world's most vulnerable food producers.
