At Real Food Media, we believe books have power. When it comes to food, we believe books are key to understanding what’s broken in our food system and how to fix it. We also believe that coming together to read books – and debate, discuss and digest them – is a fabulous way to build community and learn at the same time. Our Real Food Reads monthly podcast brings you the leading authors writing about food today in conversation with Tanya Kerssen and Tiffani Patton of Real Food Media. For those interested in hosting Real Food Reads book clubs, check out our resources at www.realfoodmedia.org. Follow along with us and when you dive into a Real Food Reads selection, you do so knowing that all across the country others are curling up with the same book, grappling with similar questions and big ideas.
