Alice Waters Agriculture Quotations

Food should be cheap, and labor should be cheap, and everything should be the same no matter where you go; whether it's a McDonald's in Germany or one in California, it should be the same. And this message is destroying cultures around the world. Needless to say, agriculture goes with it.

We have to bring children into a new relationship to food that connects them to culture and agriculture.

I feel it is an obligation to help people understand the relation of food to agriculture and the relationship of food to culture.

I think the biggest impediment to fixing the food system in the United States is that we expect food to be cheap. We want to by other things with our money. We're so disconnected from agriculture - from the culture in agriculture.
