“Closing the Food Gap reveals the chasm between the two food systems
of America—the one for the poor and the one for everyone else. Speaking
from his decades of political activism, Mark Winne offers compelling solutions
for making local, organic, and highly nutritious food available to everyone.
It’s heartening to find a book that successfully blends a passion for
sustainable living with compassion for the poor.”—Dr. Jane Goodall,
DBE, Founder – the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace
