This volume will be essential reading, a ready-to-hand reference book surveying the state of the art for anyone involved in, and actively concerned about research on the social, political, economic, psychological, geographic and historical aspects of food.

The End of Food

At the heart of The End of Food is a grim paradox: the rise of large-scale food production, though it generates more food more cheaply than at any time in history, has reached a point of dangerously diminishing returns.

Globalization and Food Sovereignty

Contributors explore how claiming food sovereignty allows individuals to challenge the power of global agribusiness and reject neoliberal market economics.

Bringing together twelve essays by scholars from a number of disciplines, this timely book documents the interdependence of food systems, nation states, and the world economy.

The no-nonsense guide to world food

Wayne Roberts follows the creative alternatives emerging on all sides, from peasant movements to urban gardens, from organic and fair-trade campaigners to policy-makers newly aware of ways to rewire our food system so it produces health and wellbeing instead of hunger.

Food Ethics: the Basics

Food Ethics offers an impartial exploration of the most prominent ethical questions relating to food and agriculture.

The Good Food Revolution

A pioneering urban farmer and MacArthur Genius Award-Winner points the way to building a new food system that can feed- and heal- communities.
