# The Third Plate by Dan Barber (Paperback)

**'A must-read for anyone interested in food and the future' Yotam Ottolenghi**  
  
Based on ten years of surveying farming communities around the world, top New York chef Dan Barber's _The Third Plate_ offers a radical new way of thinking about food that will heal the land and taste incredible.  
  
The 'first plate' was a classic meal centred on a large cut of meat with few vegetables. On the 'second plate', championed by the farm-to-table movement, meat is free-range and vegetables are locally sourced. It's better-tasting, and better for the planet, but the second plate's architecture is identical to that of the first. It, too, disrupts ecological balances, causing soil depletion and nutrient loss - it just isn't a sustainable way to farm or eat.  
  
The 'third plate' offers a solution: an integrated system of vegetable, cereal and livestock production that is fully supported - in fact, _dictated_ - by what we choose to cook for dinner. _The Third Plate_ is where good farming and good food intersect.
