The Food Movement: Its Power and Possibilities

Timeline: Milestones of the Food Movement

In the forty years since the publication of Frances Moore Lappé’s Diet for a Small Planet, a movement dedicated to the reform of the food system has taken root in America.

You can now find that way of thinking, so radical at the time, just about everywhere—from the pages of Timemagazine to the menu at any number of local restaurants.
