Hungry for change? Put the power of food co-ops on your plate and grow yourlocal food economy.

Food has become ground-zero in our efforts to increase awareness of how our choicesimpact the world. Yet while we have begun to transform our communities and dinnerplates, the most authoritative strand of the food web has received surprisingly littleattention: the grocery store - the epicenter of our food-gathering ritual.

Through penetrating analysis and inspiring stories and examples of American andCanadian food co-ops, Grocery Story makes a compelling case for the transformationof the grocery store aisles as the emerging frontier in the local and good foodmovements.

In this book, author Jon Steinman:

Deconstructs the food retail sector and the shadows cast by corporate giants Makes the case for food co-ops as an alternative

Shows how co-ops spur the creation of local food-based economies and enhancelow-income food access

Grocery Story is for everyone who eats. Whether you strive to eat more local andsustainable food, or are in support of community economic development, GroceryStory will leave you hungry to join the food co-op movement in your own community.
