You can now pre-order my new book, #HumansInOurFood! (bit.ly/humansinourfood). If you liked my last book, Food Routes, or if you missed it entirely 😢, you will love this book, complete with my own photographs of people who work within the food system.

It's time to rethink how we optimize our food system. It's not only the climate that's changing...

I've been hinting at my next book coming out this summer that's related to the people in our food system. I am excited to share the title with you later this week...any guesses?
Thank you for your support of Food+City over the past several years. We are proud of what the Food+City team accomplished through its digital and print works, and five years of the Food Challenge Prize. The Food+City website and social networks will no longer be updated (Cont.)
You can look forward to stories about the food system and updates on my latest published work, films, and adventures, which includes a new book this summer and documentary this fall.
Again, thank you for your support. Stay tuned!

It looks like virtual happy hour just got an farm-friendly upgrade. “Goat-2-Meeting” allows you to have a virtual farm tour and see some animals during your video call. We can all use some lighthearted fun that supports a good cause. Check it out here:

Ready to test your kitchen skills? Supporting local restaurants is one of the best things we can do right now & many are selling chef-made meal kits you can buy + cook at home. You can find some here, or check the social media pages of your local favorites buff.ly/351rjB2

Here's a great story about how startups, tech, and food find a niche and adapt during the crisis. What other advancements do you think we will see in the food industry moving forward? buff.ly/2RUHpHp

Recently I discussed how global food supply chains are adapting during the coronavirus pandemic on the Trend Lines podcast with WPR’s Elliot Waldman. Our conversation covers how things might look very different + what trends we might see in the future. buff.ly/2RTXbSR

Just learned from my beekeeper that half of my hive has swarmed and left the hive. Just distancing, I suppose?
Fabulous print mag @eatenmag shared an image that tells the story of the first Tiki Bar. Food stories take many shapes, incl. maps. This story is particularly powerful since we long for a time when we can resume travel, even sit with friends at a Tiki Bar. buff.ly/2Xshtqm
Vinder, one of our startup finalists, has been partnering with bars & restaurants in response to the current situation - and is hiring more drivers! Vinder is offering a No-Contact delivery service to deliver goods such as meal kits and DIY cocktail kits: buff.ly/3b0CUCO
