Rural contexts are often over-looked, treated as "flyover land." But because everyone must eat, rural communities and their work in food production are vitally important to the whole of society. Mark Yackel-Juleen spent many years in rural ministry and is the founder and executive director of Shalom Hill Farms, and so offers valuable insight on the present issues of food production and environmental sustainability, and connects it in profound and practical ways to the biblical and theological tradition. The result is a clear set of powerful and actionable tools for rural leaders and ministers to help them address issues of sustainability and land use in their ministry. Everyone Must Eat masterfully shows how one can integrate the sociology of community, the secular realities of economics and public policy, and the powerful presence of God's word in order to practice faithful leadership.
Mark L. Yackel-Juleen is Director for Samll Town and Rural Ministry, Center for Theology and Land, Wartburg Seminary, Dubuque, IA. He is also the founder and executive director of Shalom Hill Farms. An ordained pastor, the author has written and taught widely on the topics of ministry and leadership in the rural context, including food systems and sustainability.
