Writing

My writing about food policy, nutrition, agriculture, gardens and more has appeared in several publications. I was the founding editor of the UC Food Observer, a daily blog and social presence produced on behalf of the University of California’s Global Food Initiative. My writing has also been featured on KCET.org , Civil Eats, and in The Huffington Post. My work and research has been referenced in publications such as The New York Times, Mother Jones and AARP.'

I’ve recently re-engaged with blogging via A Polyphonic Life, available on this site.

I’ve also written a book about garden and food policy on the American homefront during World War I (and beyond). It’s a rich read that includes lots of wonderful information about suffrage, women’s horticultural schools, poster art, and post-WWII food policy.

I hope you’ll read my most recent piece, Responding in Faith, appearing in The Unmooring, v. 2, Issue 1.
