Harvest for Hope

A Guide to Mindful Eating

By: Jane Goodall, Gary McAvoy, Gail Hudson

Narrated by: Tippi Hedren

From world-renowned scientist Jane Goodall, as seen in the National Geographic documentary Jane, comes a provocative look into the ways we can positively impact the world by changing our eating habits.

"One of those rare, truly great books that can change the world." —John Robbins, author of The Food Revolution

The renowned scientist who fundamentally changed the way we view primates and our relationship with the animal kingdom now turns her attention to an incredibly important and deeply personal issue—taking a stand for a more sustainable world.

In Harvest for Hope, Jane Goodall sounds a clarion call to Western society, urging us to take a hard look at the food we produce and consume—and showing us how easy it is to create positive change. Offering her hopeful, but stirring vision, Goodall argues that each individual can make a difference. She provides simple strategies each of us can employ to foster a sustainable society.

Brilliant, empowering, and irrepressibly optimistic, Harvest for Hope is a crucial book for our age. If we follow Goodall's sound advice, we just might save ourselves before it's too late.©2005 Jane Goodall and Gary McAvoy. All Rights Reserved.; (P)2005 Time Warner AudioBooks.

Very informative and easy to read

What did you love best about Harvest for Hope?

An easy read that kept my attention. Very informative with lots of detail. My 10 year old also lived the book

What was one of the most memorable moments of Harvest for Hope?

I think I'll always remember the scene with her at a conference and the glass of water. I attend meetings all the time and paid no attention to how the glass of water would be wasted many times

Which scene was your favorite?

I thoroughly enjoyed many scenes I'm not sure I have a favorite.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I've learned a lot and I am making a conscious effort to pay attention to the details about where my family's food comes from. We've purchased a water filter and buy more organic or wild crafted food items

I absolutely love this book.

I found this book very informative and because of it I was able to go to a website where I found a local sustainable Farm and I became a CSA share crop holder and I will now receive locally grown organic sustainable fruits and vegetables every week. I also plan on volunteering at this local Farm that way I can be involved, learn and really know where my food comes from.

Inspiring and important

What an impairment read!! Jane Goodall is a ray of light! She sought out the truth, shares it in this book and ensures that the reader is left feeling hopeful with a section at the end of each chapter on "what you can do". Thank you Jane! I am so inspired :)
