Woody Tasch

Can enough of us steer, with requisite intention, in the direction of health and peace? Impelled by the war in Ukraine, this short volume explores the deep connections between food, nonviolence and new economic thinking. It has been called “a treasure of insight and inspiration” and “a recipe for cultural healing.”
