Reviews

"Food Routes is an intriguing look at where our food does (and doesn't) come from, where it will and should, and why tech is not a panacea." – Mark Bittman, author of How to Cook Everything

"A fresh, eye-opening analysis of the logistics of getting food from farm gates to consumers’ plates. Metcalfe's on-the-ground research in Asia, Europe, and the Americas brings a welcome dose of reality to the often-sloganeering world of food politics." – Rachel Laudan, Senior Research Fellow in the Institute for Historical Studies, University of Texas at Austin; author of Cuisine and Empire: Cooking in World History
