Book Review: Harvest For Hope by Jane Goodall

Harvest for Hope is a startling, yet sincere plea for us to see that all things are interconnected. It’s not just about food. This book speaks to our collective conscience. It holds us accountable to each other and to the planet we call home. It clarifies our spiritual and practical purpose. Jane Goodall’s testament lends incontrovertible weight to the principle that all animals, human and otherwise, are created equal.

One cannot read this book and just accept what has “always been done”. Reading it will cause you to redefine the manner in which you regard how and what you consume. It will motivate you to believe in your ability to influence a positive and permanent change in the quality of life for all sentient beings. It will, most certainly, restore your childhood awe and reverence for our miraculous Earth and its bounty.
