The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food
by Dan Barber
Since this was my first book diving into the food processes of America, I won’t review this from a content stand-point. I took everything at face-value and used this as a teaching tool rather than a work to critique.
That being said, I absolutely loved this!! It was about 100 pages too long for me, but fully enjoyable. I learned so much about farming and the journey of food. I switched back and forth between my hard copy and the audiobook.
I found the bit about culture’s impact on food so impactful. Our farms are set to have an output that the culture asks for—you change the culture’s mindset about the food they eat, and that gives the farmer the ability to make adjustments that are better for the animals and plants, and eventually the consumers. It’s an incredibly basic concept, but having not thought much about the journey of my food until recently, this stuck out to me.
I really learned so much and this book gave me insight as a consumer, future gardener, and food lover. When I get ready to start my garden/small farm one day, this will definitely be a lovely reference tool.
