We've built an abecedary, or ABC book, with words common to food, feminism, and fermentation. The goal was to find a shared language that connects us as scholars, foodmakers, artists, scientists, and journalists engaging with/in these three domains.
Here is the Table of Contents. Every week, we'll upload the PDF version of each entry in order:

by Julia Skinner - B is for BO
