“In 2012, after publication of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food, I spent an afternoon at the Homeless Garden Project. While there, I participated in a trainee-led tour and sampled their delicious tomatoes. I met individuals transforming their lives and was impressed with the program’s success.
