Hi folks,
Once again, I am teaching an Honors course here at Iowa State University. This time it is on sustainable foods and food systems. I am looking to collect resources (books, videos, newsprint, youtube videos, websites, etc) on the following topics: *Sustainable food definitions *Food miles *Past food systems vs. now (family farm to supermarket) *Community supported ag groups, public gardens, etc. *Health & diet, rural development, wealth problems & issues related to current food systems *Particular businesses/groups that you think I should know about
Anything else would be most helpful!!

Mickey,
You probably know of these already but...
The brochure Exploring Sustainability in Agriculture is available at the following http://www.sare.org/publications/explore/explore.pdf
Three websites are:
The Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program http://www.sare.org
Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas (ATTRA) http://www.attra.ncat.org
The Alternative Farming System Information Center (AFSIC) http://nal.usda.gov/afsic
Good luck,
