"The great value that The Call of the Land offers is the encouragement that comes from seeing what so many others are doing to revitalize America's agrarian roots and branches...Steven McFadden has pointed the reader to hundreds of grassroots efforts to join, emulate or use as inspiration to plant our own gardens in whatever form makes the best sense for each of us.  A hopeful work!"

------Deborah Madison, author of Local Flavors, Cooking and Eating from America's Farmers Markets, and Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.

"McFadden's call to action is clearly written and well referenced with a robust list of current websites and a bibliography for general reading on positive methods for resolving our food security challenge.  Anyone interested in a good contemporary overview of challenges and solutions will find the book valuable."

-----Charles Francis, Director, Center for Sustainable Agricultural Systems, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

"...Readers new to this movement sometimes struggle to identify a primer that is accessible and grounded in real-world examples.  The Call of the Land lends itself as a tool for such readers, as it not only illustrates a foundational agrarian ethos historically argued by Wendell Berry and Wes Jackson, but it also outlines a variety of practical models and approaches to inform the practice of local food system development."

-----Kim L. Niewolny and Nancy K. Franz, Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems and Community Development

"This book is just terrific...McFadden is dealing with sacred science, the sort of wisdom we require for our survival."

-----Larry Dossey, M.D. author of Healing Words and The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things
