How did something so fundamental as food, go so fundamentally wrong? Instead of nourishing us, what we eat and the way we produce it threaten the air we breathe, the water we drink and the dirt under our feet. And yet, too much 'food' television focuses on celebrity chefs and cooking competitions and not enough on where our food comes from and the impact it has on our planet, our country, our bodies, and our souls. Food Forward opens the door into a new world of possibility, where pioneers and visionaries are creating viable alternatives to the pressing social and environmental impacts of our industrial food system. Across the country, a vanguard of food rebels--farmers, chefs, fishermen, teachers, scientists, and entrepreneurs--are creating inspired, but practical solutions that are nourishing us and the planet. These are stories America needs to hear. This is Food Forward.

Bram Vermeulen travels along the borders of Turkey. With Europe collapsing on one side and the faltering regimes of the Arab world on the other, Turkish influence in these regions will grow. Here, the new power dynamics around the Mediterranean are being forged. Major developments with enormous consequences for the people who live there. Vermeulen enters the twilight zones along the borders with Greece, Cyprus, Syria, and Iraq, searching for the true dividing lines with our neighbors. This is an important quest, in which we learn as much about the Turks as we do about ourselves. Borders create countries, not the other way around. Borders define the land: this is where our domain ends and that of others begins. Turkey is a borderland. A country that desperately defines itself by its contrast with its neighbors. Turkey is not Greek, not Russian, not Arab. Turkey is the twilight zone between the Middle East and Europe.
