When Douglas Gayeton took his young daughter to see the salmon runa favorite pastime growing up in Northern Californiahe was devastated to find that a combination of urban sprawl, land mismanagement, and pollution had decimated the fish population.

The discovery set Gayeton on a journey in search of sustainable solutions. He traveled the country, photographing and learning the new language of sustainability from today's foremost practitioners in food and farming, including Alice Waters, Wes Jackson, Carl Safina, Temple Grandin, Paul Stamets, Patrick Holden, Barton Seaver, Vandana Shiva, Dr. Elaine Ingham, and Joel Salatin, as well as everyday farmers, fishermen, and dairy producers.

Local: The New Face of Food and Farming blends their insights with stunning collage-like information artworks and Gayeton's Lexicon of Sustainability, which defines and de-mystifies hundreds of terms like food miles, locavore, organic, grassfed and antibiotic free. In doing so, Gayeton helps people understand what they mean for their lives. He also includes eco tips and other information on how the sustainable movement affects us all every day.
