At issue for everyone who eats food, If Food Could Talk highlights thirteen important foods that will likely disappear in the very near future due to climate change, discussing origins of these foods and cultivation histories, as well as spiritual, socioeconomic, and nutritional impacts. Intervention strategies are highlighted. Each food chapter ends with traditional and nontraditional recipes to prepare and eat these foods while they are still available. We can save these precious foods, and If Food Could Talk is an introductory manual to do just that!
