Pollan, Michael. The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. New York:
Penguin Press, 2006. Print.
Michael Pollan examines the American diet. The diet consists on unhealthy, harmful foods due to the readily access available to food. In the second section of the book, Pollan researches an organic farm to analyze the productivity versus nutritional value and environmental health. This source is most beneficial regarding the organic farming section because it is an example of a farm that balances economy and environment in its processes.
Edwards, Andres R. The Sustainability Revolution: Portrait of a Paradigm Shift.
Gabriola, BC: New Society Pubishers, 2005. Print.
Andres Edwards investigates the current desire to shift to sustainable living-“The Sustainability Revolution”. He acknowledges the many factors that contribute to sustainable living and compares them to economic needs. This book is very helpful to understand the different elements of sustainable living- including sustainable agriculture- and how they affect the economy. I will be able to use this when arguing a balance between economic and environmental health.
