Farms with a Future: Creating and Growing a Sustainable Farm Business
by Rebecca ThistlethwaiteWhat makes a farm sustainable and successful? And what special qualities and skills are needed for someone to become a successful farmer?Rebecca Thistlethwaite addresses these and other crucial questions in this uniquely important book, which is a must-read for anyone who aspires to get into farming, or who wants to make their farm business more dynamic, profitable, and, above all, sustainable. Over an entire year, the author and her husband-experienced farmers themselves-took a sabbatical and traveled the length and breadth of the United States to live and work alongside some of the nation's most innovative farmers. Along the way they learned about best practices, and a whole lot about what doesn't work.Farms with a Future shares this collective wisdom in an inspirational yet practical manner; it will help beginners avoid many of the common mistakes that first-time farmers make. Just as importantly, it discusses positive ideas that can help make any farm enterprise vibrant and financially profitable. Profiles of more than a dozen representative farms help round out the invaluable information and encourage farmers to embrace their inner entrepreneur. Younger growers, in particular, will benefit by learning about "the right stuff" from both their peers and longtime experts.This book provides a useful reference for beginning and experienced farmers alike. While many other books address agricultural production, there are very few that talk about business management for long-term sustainability. Farms with a Future offers an approachable, colorful take on building a triple-bottom-line farming business.

Fast Carbs, Slow Carbs: The Simple Truth About Food, Weight, and Disease
by David A. KesslerThe New York Times–bestselling author of The End of Overeating addresses the problem of processed carbohydrates—and how to reclaim our metabolic health.It was once a revolutionary idea that seemed to offer so much promise. Instead has become the cause of a global health crisis: processed foods.Starting in the mid-twentieth century, processed carbohydrates gradually became our main food source. For decades, no one questioned their effects. The focus was on fertile grassland, ideal for growing vast amounts of wheat and corn; an industrial infrastructure perfect for refining those grains into starch; a food production behemoth that turns refined grains into affordable, appealing, and ever-present food items, from pizza to burritos to bagels; and an efficient distribution network that ensures consumption by Americans nationwide. Meanwhile, our bodies quietly contended with the metabolic chaos caused by consuming rapidly absorbable starch. Slowly but surely, these effects accumulated and became disastrous, leading to the public health crisis in which we find ourselves today.In Fast Carbs, Slow Carbs, former FDA Commissioner David A. Kessler explains how the quest to feed a nation resulted in a population that is increasingly suffering from obesity and chronic disease. He explains how eating refined grains leads to a cascade of hormonal and metabolic issues that make it very easy to gain weight—and nearly impossible to lose it. Worse still is how excess weight creates a very real link to diabetes, heart disease, cognitive decline, and a host of cancers.We can no longer afford to dismiss the consequences of eating food designed to be rapidly absorbed as sugar in our bodies. Informed by cutting-edge research as well as Dr. Kessler’s own quest to manage his weight, Fast Carbs, Slow Carbs reveals how we got to this critical turning point in our health as a nation—and outlines a plan for eliminating heart disease.
