Bücher der Reihe Routledge Studies in Food, Society and the Environment

In this challenging book, the author explores the contradictions and shortcomings of alternative food activism to demonstrate the importance of moving beyond a promotion of universal "shoulds" of eating, and towards a practice of food activism that is more sensitive to issues of social and material difference.

Sustainability and food production represent a major challenge to society, with both consumption and supply sides posing practical and ethical dilemmas. This book shows that food governance issues can occur in many ways and at many points along the food chain.

In this innovative volume the authors break out from traditional categories of analysis in agri-food studies, reconceptualising materialities and reframing economic assemblages as biological economies, based on the notion of all research being enactive or performative.

In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level.

As urban populations rise rapidly and concerns about food security increase, interest in urban agriculture has been renewed in both developed and developing countries. This book focuses on the sustainable development of urban agriculture and its relationship to food planning in cities.

This volume is a cross-disciplinary and applied approach to urban food system sustainability, health, and equity.

This book brings together scholars from anthropology, sociology, environmental studies, tourism, architecture and development studies to provide a comprehensive examination of food consumption trends in the cities of Asia and the Pacific, including household food consumption, eating out and food waste.
