The
statement of purpose:
In “Back to
the land”, Kalman encourages city residence to change the way of growing food
and eating habits which will help to improve health and develop a better family
relationships, which could be achieved by finding the missing part of democracy
that has been lost long time ago, the democracy of healthy eating. Kalman uses her
experience in visiting organic farms in California and showing how healthy,
naturally and tasty the food is from these farms. Also, the placement of the edible
schoolyard program in a middle school in Berkeley help Kalman’s readers
understand that introducing old habits to kids make them understand the concept of healthy food
,encourage them to work with each other, and be with their family , which will eventually lead to a better social environment.
