To gain an understanding of "sustainable" eating, I highly recommend "The Omnivore's Dilemna" by Michael Pollan. I currently have the MICDS library's copy but will be returning it soon.
I also have a copy of Pollan's book and I'm happy to lend it out. I have lent out my copy of Fast Food Nation, but I highly recommend it too.
Additionally, I will begin volunteering this spring break with the New Roots Urban Farm, which is a sustainable agriculture farm based in downtown St. Louis. I will let the group know if I learn anything useful and tranferable from my experience.
While visiting Tuscany this summer, I stayed on a working farm (agriturismo) that supplied 90% of the food and drink that we consumed at breakfast and dinner. I will be happy to share a short slideshow with the Green Group about my experiences. Closer to home....I have discovered that Schnucks now carries beef from cattle which are grass-fed. The farm that produces it is located in southeast Missouri. You pay more for it, but feel a lot better consuming it! I tried the ground chuck in a meatloaf and it was delicious! I think the company is called "American Grass Fed". Check it out!

I came across a website called "Garden-Based Learning," from Cornell University. Looks like it could be very useful!
