Review: The World That Feeds Us

Take a quick trip around the world of farming in “The World That Feeds Us.” There is a LOT going on in this book as you learn about farming plants and animals, the difference between conventional and organic farming, the types of urban farms, and heirloom breeds. The colorful, yet simple illustrations are a delight.

Each double-page spread is well designed with information about farming activities in a given season and supporting information (such as different ways to harvest food). Farming techniques and plant or animal types around the world are featured in the story, making it clear that farming happens around the world. 

This book will be a go-to for learning about where our food comes from. The would be great as a read aloud, but also for independent readers. I can see middle grade students enjoying the story. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for a free Advance Reader’s Copy in exchange for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

"The World That Feeds Us" is available April 11.
