I'm excited by this new book. NOT excited by its clear misunderstanding of SftP -- see p. xxx, Introduction. Read it and comment, please.

food systems

Dear all

This multimedia e- book may be of interest to you and your networks: *EVERYDAY
EXPERTS: HOW PEOPLE'S KNOWLEDGE CAN TRANSFORM THE FOOD SYSTEM*

*Everyday Experts* explains how knowledge built up through first-hand
experience can help solve the crisis in the food system. It brings together
fifty-seven activists, farmers, practitioners, researchers and community
organisers from around the world in 28 original chapters to take a critical
look at attempts to improve the dialogue between people whose knowledge has
been marginalised in the past and others who are recognised as professional
experts.

Using a combination of stories, poems, photos and videos, the contributors
demonstrate how people’s knowledge can transform the food system towards
greater social and environmental justice. Many of the chapters also explore
the challenges of using action and participatory approaches to research.

The chapters share new insights, analysis and stories that can expand our
imagination of a future that encompasses:

- making dialogue among people with different ways of understanding the
world central to all decision-making
- the re-affirmation of Indigenous, local, traditional and other
knowledge systems
- a blurring of the divide between professional expertise and expertise
that is derived from experience
- transformed relationships amongst ourselves and with the Earth to
confront inequality and the environmental crisis
