Review: “The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food” - Edge Effects
The Third Plate is where good farming and good food intersect. While the ‘third plate’ is a novelty in America, Barber demonstrates that this way of eating is rooted in worldwide tradition. He explores the time-honored farming practices of the southern Spanish dehesa, producing high-grade olives, acorns, cork, wool, and the renowned jamón. Dec 11, · While The Third Plate provides a lengthy popular history of agriculture, fisheries, and cuisine in North America and Spain, divided into four sections, Soil, Land, Sea, and Seed, Barber’s use of certain ecological models transcends these categories and provides ripe sites for unpacking his third plate .

Looking out one morning at the flea beetle-infested and quickly deteriorating spring kale crop left me pretty discouraged and fairly sure the entire crop was a loss. Not sure how much longer we should keep the kale around, the third plate pdf download, I asked the other farm manager what he supposed we should do. The second plate, just beginning to find convention in farm-to-table dining, contains the same ingredients but the steak is grass-fed and the heirloom carrots have been grown locally in organic soil, the third plate pdf download.
For the third plate, thirty-five years from now, Barber envisions a reversal of proportions, a carrot steak with a braised beef sauce, using second cuts. Emerging out of a negotiation between farmer and land, Barber asserts that a great and humble cuisine asks: what can be sustainably produced on the land, what does the land need, and how can we make healthy and flavorful use of what is produced?
In short, our kale only has value on the third plate. Photograph by Tyler Dennis. Jack had got a reading of Thrilled by the superior flavor, Barber followed Jack down to the greenhouse to get an idea of how this could happen.
As most farming practices over the last two centuries have progressed towards heavier dependence on industrial inputs and mechanization, completely eliminating microbial life and reducing plant health to the crutch of chemicals cocktails, remarkably fewer phytonutrients are produced, and health and flavor are lost. On average, for every ton of fish caught only about sixty percent stays on board and the rest dead the third plate pdf download damaged the third plate pdf download dumped back into the sea.
Angel not only considers it his responsibility to care for the other forty percent, but also to create an alternative cuisine and market, a sea ethic, that preserves the endangered fisheries and supports small-scale fishermen by utilizing the abundance of waste in bycatch, second cuts, and unwanted fish.
Returning to the American farmscape, Barber stumbles upon the problems of scale and seed in attempting to defend and secure a viable alternative to industrial agriculture. Because so little of the American diet depends on food produced for expensive restaurants and bakeries, Barber seems to forget for a moment that many of these medium-sized farms possess the potential to alter the market elsewhere, the third plate pdf download, to permeate the nutritionally dead American groceries, where only the first plate is for sale.
In the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, mid-sized grain farmers Klaas Martens and Mary-Howell switched from conventional to organic grains in following temporary paralysis after spraying in the fieldsand since then have moved increasingly closer to a complete, closed-loop, whole-farm system. In addition to growing acres of a diversity of crops and grazing livestock, they have opened a mill in town for medium-sized producers and started a regional seed distribution center promoting regional grain varieties that are bred for flavor and resistanceas well as providing alternative education and support to farmers in their community.
And although some of these products, such as the wheat, have a market, Barber knows that to cook with the whole farm, to cultivate a great cuisine, he must create a market for what a farmer would otherwise view as a loss, such as our damaged kale, the third plate pdf download.
Thus, proposing an arbitrary ethical measurement, such as flavor, could quickly transform into rhetorical bedlam, battling over qualities of taste and the third plate pdf download varying production models, leading to a flurry of broken, single-minded agricultural systems.
Yet, Dan Barber fervently believes otherwise, insisting that the best farming and fishing practices necessarily produce the best-flavored food. Regardless, it is a significant and welcome shift from the shallow aesthetics of farm-to-table dining.
Despite the fact that our kale crop was covered with holes—a sure sign it would not sell at market or to other restaurants—it was sweet and tender, and Blue Hill had no trouble serving it, the third plate pdf download. In fact, clear-cutting the kale in spring purged the plants of their stress and provided a strong and healthy recovery, giving us the opportunity to sell the kale at markets and to restaurants all summer. Ironically, summer kale lacks much of the sweet flavor and tender leaves the spring encourages.
Recently, the bulk of his work is reflected in the past two seasons the third plate pdf download small farms in the Hudson Valley, while conducting ethnographic research into new agrarian discourses, particularly the third plate pdf download relation to land ownership and gendered labour. A fine review. Your Kale example throughout the review is spot on and I fully understand what you are saying there. I have a particular interest in the farm-to-table schemes that the trendy, high end restaurants around NYC and other food cities operate on and what goes on in those relationships with the farm, fishmonger, chefs, managers, and investors of said trendy eateries.
Could you point me in the direction of some reading if any is out there on this. When I see restaurant reviews with those little plates of only the finest ingredients meticulously fussed over it is obvious that something is rubbing up against ecology and ethics in the creating of these plates.
I cannot be the only one that sees this… But I have no way to articulate, no reference point regarding the disconnect. Thank you for this piece. Bon appetite, -Tapper, the third plate pdf download.
