Opis

This text provides a comprehensive and critical exploration of food from a place perspective. The book focuses on the multifaceted relationships between food and place at the various stages of our food system, including production, distribution, preparation, and consumption. The authors explore such questions as: How does place (its natural resources and climate, political economy, history, culture, and social relations) influence food practices (the way food is grown, traded, prepared, and eaten)? How do everyday food practices structure our lives and create places? How does food activism help transform places? Critically engaged and connected to current activist and academic debates, this will be an essential resource for student s across the social sciences.
