In the end, author Wenonah Hauter argues that solving this crisis will require a complete structural shift, a grassroots movement to reshape our food system from seed to table—a change that is about politics, not just personal choice.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wenonah Hauter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48283691090171,"sku":"9781595589781","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_941427d1-0bd1-4a3f-884b-494d735a698b.jpg?v=1771371489","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/foodopoly-9781595589781","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
