Nothing you've not read before.

Still, thanks to the publisher for the ARC and best of luck to Mr. Foley (and his community) in sustaining his (their) livelihood.

Michael Foley's Farming for the Long Haul deals with some important themes related to how to live out the idea that agriculture is more than just an economic enterprise, and that there are pathways to practice agriculture that make farmers and our society more resilient. The only thing missing from the book are more examples of people successfully living these ideas out in practice.

There is a lot of great information, and I like how it shows the history of each of the issues. It could, however, use some illustrations or pictures sprinkled throughout the text to make it more visual and lighten the heavier areas.
