What Does a Farmer Look Like?


Book Description

"The idea for this book came from a Twitter discussion I was a part of about the image that is portrayed about how the average farmer looks... My aim with this book is to show people exactly who farmers are and what we really look like! From veggie growers to wool producers, cattle graziers to oyster farmers there are so many different people and industries that can fall under the banner 'farmer'. As a photographer, I've always wanted to put together a beautiful coffee table book of my photographs and combining that with telling people's stories..." -- from publisher's website.

Farm to Fable


Book Description

Why do the vast majority of us continue to consume animals when we could choose otherwise? What are the cultural forces that drive our food choices?Our beliefs about eating animals remain, in mainstream culture, largely unexamined, and therefore unchallenged, Robert Grillo argues. In this significant book, he attempts to uncover what drives our food choices, and specifically how the fictions of popular culture -- literature, movies, TV -- continually reinforce our current beliefs and behaviour. The insights revealed in Farm to Fable will be of great value and interest to seasoned animal advocates as well as casual readers.
