FOOD, HUNGER & THE ENVIRONMENT
Building on Frances Moore Lappé’s path-breaking Diet for a Small Planet, the Institute continues to combat the myth of scarcity in a world of plenty. Frances and Anna Lappé’s Hope’s Edge chronicles their journey on five continents exploring people-powered movements aligning farming with ecological and human well-being.
Frances' powerful book EcoMind: Changing the Way We Think, to Create the World We Want navigates from "thought traps" to "thought leaps," as challenges morph into opportunities which motivate action. Then, drawing on their earlier classic study, Frances and Joseph Collins released the fully rewritten World Hunger: 10 Myths. Senior Researcher Timothy A. Wise extends the institute’s work with Eating Tomorrow: Agribusiness, Family Farmers, and the Battle for the Future of Food .

To Fix The Food System, Fix Our Democracy
People go hungry not from lack of food but from lack of political power.
"Today’s multiplying threats are truly scary — a deadly pandemic with vast economic losses, police murders reflecting endemic racism, a president trashing constitutional protections, and . . . oh yes, a pending climate catastrophe.
So fear is inevitable, and, of course, it can ignite action that saves lives..."

Coming Soon! It's Not Too Late! : Crisis Opportunity and the Power of Hope
It’s Not Too Late! offers a surprising and motivating new lens through which to see the climate crisis. hough many feel overwhelmed and some even tempted to give up, we find rays of hope. We prepared this book—for review only—during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. We hope that publishing it initially on-line will make it easy for readers to weigh in to make it stronger. Then, in early 2021, we will incorporate all your feedback and choose how best to publish the result.
Email info@smallplanet.org to request a review copy and be apart of the collaborative publishing of this book!
From 2016-2020 current SPI Advisor Timothy A. Wise directed this program to provide research and analysis on global, national, and local efforts to promote climate-resilient sustainable agricultural development in some of the world’s poorest countries. That research led to his book, Eating Tomorrow, and an extensive series of articles, presentations, and interviews which are collected on these pages. His ongoing research and writing can be found on his Author Page and his program page on the Future of Food at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy. Sign up for updates to follow Tim's ongoing work.
To help us examine our core assumptions about community, democracy, hope, fear, and courage in the
context of today’s global challenges, as well as within ourselves and our communities, the workshop uses a range of media tools and participatory activities including videos, power points, facilitators scripts, handouts and more! Check out more info HERE.
