Brenda and I have been reading "Animal Vegetable Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver. It is the wonderfully written story of the Kingsolver family moving to a family farmstead and learning how to supply healthy food from their own efforts, and from the efforts of those in the locale.
It speaks strongly to the issue of sustainability and goes into some detail about the true costs of imported food, as well as telling the family story of living fully in the community.

Great book! I loved it. Everyone should read this book. Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma is another must-read.
