"Farmacology" Author Event and Book Signing featuring Daphne Miller

In Farmacology, practicing family physician and renowned
nutrition explorer Daphne Miller brings us beyond the simple
concept of "food as medicine" and introduces us to the critical idea
that it's the farm where that food is grown that offers us the real
medicine. By venturing out of her clinic and spending time on
seven family farms, Miller uncovers all the aspects of farming that
have a direct and powerful impact on our health. Bridging the
traditional divide between agriculture and medicine, Miller shares
lessons learned from inspiring farmers and biomedical researchers
and artfully weaves their insights and discoveries, along with
stories from her patients, into the narrative. The result is a compelling new vision for sustainable healing and a treasure trove of farm-to-body lessons that have immense value in
our daily lives.

Daphne Miller, M.D., is a practicing physician, author, and professor of family medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. For the past decade, her writing and teaching has
explored the frontier between biomedicine and the natural world. Her widely acclaimed first book, The Jungle Effect, chronicles her nutrition adventures as she travels to traditional
communities around the globe. Miller lives in Berkeley, CA.
