Civil Eats is a great website that may be of interest to our members. Civil Eats promotes critical thought about sustainable agriculture and food systems as part of building economically and socially just communities. Civil Eats supports the development of a dialog among local and national leaders about the American food system, and its effects abroad with its many contributing editors. Civil Eats can be humorous, serious, academic, philosophical, conversational-its style of conversation is as diverse as its 100+ contributors-but it is always thought provoking, innovative, and focused on food politics.
