As with any other works of mind, the book is a result of a colossal body of knowledge that has accumulated over time, some of which is difficult to pinpoint and to address accordingly. We thank the many think- ers who have actively voiced their thoughts that in turn advanced our understanding about the world, including the key themes of this book. More directly, we owe a great deal of gratitude to people who have directly been involved in the E at, Cook, Grow research project and this book. It simply would not have been possible without support from the following individuals and organizations: the Eat, Cook, Grow team including Shawn Lawson, Eli Blevis, Younghui Kim, Tad Hirsch, Robert Imre, Peter Lyle, and Geremy Farr-Wharton, and our partners Elizabeth Good at Queensland Health, Emma Kate-Rose and Robert Pekin at Food Connect, Peter Kearney at CityFood Growers, and John Meredith at James Street Cooking School. We are also genuinely grateful to Doug Sery and people at The MIT Press for guiding us through the eventful path to publication, and to our colleagues around the world who kindly reviewed the chapters, including Nic Bidwell, Laura Forlano, Michelle Hall, Mariann Hardey, Jillian Hamilton, Ben Kraal, Eleftheria Lekakis, Conor Linehan, Nancy Odendaal, Jeni Paay, Gavin Sade, Christine Satchell, Ronald Schroeter, Mark Shepherd, and David Wright, among others. Natalie Collie has been nothing less than the best copyeditor one could wish for. And we would like to express our most sincere gratitude to the authors for sharing their valuable insights. Anne Galloway, Yvonne Rogers, Kenton O’ Hara, Eli Blevis, and Charles Spence, thank you so much for your contribu- tions, too. Jaz, Marcus, and Greg I am genuinely grateful to Marcus and Greg for being the most amazing companions in the journey of turning the E at, Cook, Grow project and this book into reality; Mark Graham, Bernie Hogan, and Victoria Nash at the Oxford Internet Institute for their support in exploring new terrains of research in beautiful Oxford; Rob Comber and
