Love for the Land: An Evening with Brooks Lamb

“Please join author, advocate, Memphian, and Rhodes alumnus Brooks Lamb for a discussion of his new book, Love for the Land: Lessons from Farmers who Persist in Place. In this crucial volume, drawn from deep research, on-the-ground observations, and personal experiences, Lamb highlights the stories of farmers and others in two small rural communities who maintain their connection to the soil in a time of great challenge and transition. Drawing on his work as both scholar and child of rural America, Lamb suggests a present and future for farming that neither ignores these struggles nor becomes overwhelmed by them. He outlines a path forward rooted in love and respect for the land. It is sure to be a remarkable conversation.”
