A Guide for Every Kind of Reader

Throughout the book you will see markers: FOR THE DISCOVERER, FOR THE TRADER & PRODUCER, and FOR THE INNOVATOR. These are not walls between audiences. They are doors. Read across them. The farmer who understands the kitchen buyer makes better decisions. The home cook who understands the trader asks better questions.
