Below are some of my favorite books. They are organized into categories: Urban Gardening (for paperback books like The Urban Homestead), Food Systems Planning (for technical reports and such, like APA’s Planners Advisory Service reports), Cook Books (such as the fantastic Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone), and Easy Reading/Popular (for books such as The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Fast Food Nation, and Eating Aninmals)

The books I recommend here are books that I either have on my shelf, have read myself, or are by an author that I’ve read and recommend.
