“I heard about The Good Food Revolution from a Public Radio interview with the book's author, Will Allen. He was so well spoken, so passionate about his work in Milwaukee, that I was anxious to find a copy and read it. Allen, a former basketball player, son of a sharecropper, has been working to develop sustainable urban farming techniques. He wants to not only provide inner city people with fresh food, but to show them how they can grow healthy food for themselves. I was very interested in his obvious dedication to hard work, creativity, and his concern for other people. He is one inspiring person.”

His passion for good food and urban farming make this a very interesting read.”
