Our people, planet, and communities are more stressed than ever. These problems persist because we strive to sustain the very things that cause them. Growing is an in-depth look at our food and agriculture systems and how we have settled our country and planet. With over 30 years of first-hand experience and extensive study, Charlie Hopper offers a vivid examination of our journey as people on this planet and how nature and the nature of people will change our course. This book is an open-eyed look at our past, a call for action, and a beam of hope for our planet and us as people.
