What we eat - as well as how it is produced, processed, moved,
sold, and used by our bodies seems to matter like never before.
Global Foodscapes takes on this topicality and asks readers to
think about how we are all involved in the making of an odd and, in
many ways, troubling and contested food economy. It explores how
food is conceived, traded, grown, reared, processed, sold, and
consumed; investigates what goes wrong along the way; and assesses
what diverse people around the world are doing to fix these faults.
The text uses a carefully-crafted framework that explores the
interaction of five forms of oppression and five means of
resistance as they are worked out over five stages in the food
economy. It draws on case studies from around the world that
illuminate key issues about food in today's world; examines how
oppression affects diverse people caught up in the food economy;
and highlights how individuals, groups, and institutions such as
governments, but also firms, are trying to improve how we interact
with the food system. Global Foodscapes is a highly accessible and
useful text for undergraduate students interested in the global
food economy. The global range of case studies, examples, and
reference points, as well as its original framework allows the text
to speak to diverse audiences and generate debate about whether
anything - and if so, what - needs to be done about the food system
we depend upon so heavily. Additional materials such as suggested
readings and discussion points help students consider the issues at
hand and conduct initial and more detailed research on today's food
economy.
