Content: "There is a major disconnect between what we wear and our knowledge of its impact on land, air, water, labor, and human health. Even those who value access to safe, local, nutritious food have largely overlooked the production of fiber, dyes, and the chemistry that forms the backbone of modern textile production. While humans are 100 percent reliant on their second skin, it's common to think little about the biological and human cultural context from which our clothing derives. Almost a decade ago, weaver and natural dyer Rebecca Burgess developed a project focused on wearing clothing made from fiber grown, woven, and sewn within her bioregion of North Central California. As she began to network with ranchers, farmers, and artisans, she discovered that even in her home community there was ample raw material being grown to support a new regional textile economy with deep roots in climate change prevention and soil restoration. A vision for the future came into focus, combining right livelihoods and a textile system based on economic justice and soil carbon enhancing practices. Burgess saw that we could create viable supply chains of clothing that could become the new standard in a world looking to solve the climate crisis. In Fibershed readers will learn how natural plant dyes and fibers such as wool, cotton, hemp, and flax can be grown and processed as part of a scalable, restorative agricultural system. They will also learn about milling and other technical systems needed to make regional textile production possible. Fibershed is a resource for fiber farmers, ranchers, contract grazers, weavers, knitters, slow-fashion entrepreneurs, soil activists, and conscious consumers who want to join or create their own fibershed and topple outdated and toxic systems of exploitation"--

Content: Was dein Pulli mit regenerativer Landwirtschaft zu tun hat. Hast du dich auch mal gefragt, wo deine Kleidung eigentlich herkommt? Also nicht nur das fertige Teil IBM sondern alle seine Bestandteile. Die Rohstoffe, aus denen es hergestellt wurde. Die Farbe, die es so besonders macht. Und hast du dich gefragt, wer es designt hat, wer den Stoff webt, der sich so weich auf deiner Haut anfühlt, und wer die Einzelteile zu einem Ganzen vernäht? Was das Verhältnis zu unserer Kleidung betrifft, könnte man sagen: Wir haben den Faden verloren. Oder sogar noch schlimmer: Die Beziehung zu unserer zweiten Haut ist ICY leider toxisch. Und das im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Denn einerseits haben wir uns an Fast Fashion gewöhnt: daran, ständig neue Kleidung zu kaufen, um sie dann kaum getragen im Schrank vermotten zu lassen und schnell durch die neueste Mode zu ersetzen. Andererseits sind die Inhaltsstoffe in konventioneller Kleidung tatsächlich giftig und schädlich IBM nicht nur für unsere Umwelt, sondern auch für die Menschen, die sie herstellen, und für die Konsument*innen, die sie direkt auf ihrer Haut tragen. Und das alles trägt noch dazu erheblich zur Klimakrise bei: Die Modeindustrie ist heute für 10 % der menschengemachten Treibhausgas-Emissionen verantwortlich, mehr als der Flug- und Schiffsverkehr zusammen. In diesem Buch gibt uns Rebecca Burgess einen Einblick in die Textilwirtschaft: Sie zeigt, wie Kleidung und Stoffe produziert werden, wie problematisch viele der Vorgänge dabei sind IBM aber vor allem: welche Alternativen es gibt.

Content: "Sooner or later, nearly everyone who cares about wine and food comes to Sonoma"-so begins this lively excursion to a spectacular region that has become known internationally as a locavore's paradise. Part memoir, part vivid reportage, Field Days chronicles the renaissance in farming organically and eating locally that is unfolding in Northern California. Jonah Raskin tells of the year he spent on Oak Hill Farm-working the fields, selling produce at farmers' markets, and following it to restaurants. He also goes behind the scenes at Whole Foods. In this luminous account of his experiences, Raskin introduces a dynamic cast of characters-farmers, chefs, winemakers, farm workers, and environmentalists. They include such luminaries as Warren Weber at Star Route Farm, the oldest certified organic farm in Marin County; Bob Cannard, who has supplied Chez Panisse with vegetables for decades; Sharon Grossi, the owner of the largest organic farm in Sonoma; and Craig Stoll, the founder and executive chef at Delfina in San Francisco. Raskin also offers portraits of renowned historical figures, including Luther Burbank, Jack London, and M.F.K. Fisher. Field Days is a heartfelt celebration of the farm-to-table movement and its cultural reverberations.
