Ten years ago, Robin Greenfield awoke to the destruction of the industrial food system. Since then, he has been deeply exploring the food we eat, often through immersive activism, which led to one of his most burning questions: could he step outside of the food system completely and grow and forage 100% of his food?

In Food Freedom, he shares his adventures of living without grocery stores or restaurants. Nothing packaged, processed, or shipped; not even multivitamins, supplements, or spices. Within the city of Orlando, Florida, he turned lawns into abundant gardens, with a biodiversity of over 100 plant species. He foraged 200 species of plants and mushrooms from nature, experimenting with food as his medicine. Follow Robin on an emotional journey as he explores:

- Growing and foraging to deepen his connection to local food and establish a relationship of reciprocity with the land

- The industrial food system that likely brought you today’s meal

- How communities are taking back control of their food and creating food sovereignty

- How you, too, can grow your own and forage to gain food freedom


The good food revolution is not a lonely path. Millions have embarked on the journey and are waiting for you to join them. Question your food. Uncover the truth. Liberate yourself through relationships with our plant community!

100% of profits, after book distribution, are donated to Gardens of Liberation, supporting Indigenous and Black-led food sovereignty initiatives.

Food Freedom approaches eating not merely as a biological or cultural object of study, but as a text concerning language, power, and subjectivity. The author interprets the practice of eating as a cultural performance, one that demonstrates how the body is inscribed by social discourses and how the individual, in turn, authors a text of resistance or compliance against this inscription.
