«Animal, Vegetable, Miracle» is Barbara Kingsolver's essay on local food and sustainable living, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (384 pages, in English).
The author recounts the year her family decided to eat only local produce, much of it grown in their own garden. The narrative blends personal memoir and journalistic research, with visits to farmers' markets and organic farms, and argues that food should return to the centre of family and political life.
Appeals to non-fiction readers seeking an intimate look at sustainable agriculture, food sovereignty, and rural life.
