In \u003cem\u003eFeed Us with Trees\u003c\/em\u003e, Hay brings us along as she gets to know dozens of nut growers, scientists, Indigenous knowledge-keepers, researchers, and food professionals--and discovers that in tending these staple trees, we once played a vital environmental role as one of Earth's keystone species.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFeed Us with Trees \u003c\/em\u003eis Hay's hopeful manifesto about a brighter, more abundant world-- and a critical look at the long-held stories we'll need to rewrite to build it.
