Sustainable Food Futures: Multidisciplinary Solutions

2017 | Natural World

Securing sustainable food for everyone is one of the world's most pressing challenges, but research, policy, and programmes remain fragmented, and effective solutions have been slow to emerge. This book takes on these challenges by proposing a range of solutions that can advance pathways towards sustainable food futures. This book is structured so that readers are taken in a logical progression through discussions of solutions that highlight the need to recognise the role of place, the importance of participation, and to challenge dominant descriptions of markets, through to discussions of solutions that aim to re-design food systems. The solutions presented in this book are based on real-world cases, but discussions remain deliberately broad to encourage thinking in new ways. Cases are drawn from Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America. The book is of relevance to those interested in sustainable food futures, and can serve as a supplementary textbook for a wide range of courses in food studies and related disciplines.
