How Soon Can I Get Plates Ontario

A book about The AMAP


From heavy!


just released a book particularly interesting: AMAP; Let us put food in the heart of our societies. "
This book really made me travel. He starts with observations and experiments that are familiar to every participant in an AMAP (the formation of a group of consumers, organizing distribution, preparation of contracts ...) to lead us, after a few detours to Canada, Japan and Italy towards a broader and more complex role and specificity of AMAP.
More than a review of the book, I touch on a multiple arguments, which I endorse any particular (p94): "learning [is] an essential dimension of the system AMAP.
The authors (David Leroy Maud and Stephen Girou) give several examples of such learning:
- learn how to build a different relationship to our diet
- understanding of agricultural issues
- innovative ways to cook
- learn to share, learn the interaction and sharing ("you do not necessarily choose the most beautiful bunch of leeks)
- learn how to measure the true value of the basket
- learning the complex thought.
This learning seems essential to me, is illustrated by a quote from Miguel Benasayag "need to mourn the solution to be to think in terms of experience and multiple processes"
Clearly, each is an AMAP unique, permanently built by its members. One learns to become amapien over the baskets.
A book to devour ...
