This collection breaks new ground by investigating applications of
degrowth in a range of geographic, practical and theoretical
contexts along the food chain. Degrowth challenges growth and
advocates for everyday practices that limit socio-metabolic energy
and material flows within planetary constraints. As such, the
editors intend to map possibilities for food for degrowth to become
established as a field of study. International contributors offer a
range of examples and possibilities to develop more sustainable,
localised, resilient and healthy food systems using degrowth
principles of sufficiency, frugal abundance, security, autonomy and
conviviality. Chapters are clustered in parts that critically
examine food for degrowth in spheres of the household, collectives,
networks, and narratives of broader activism and discourses. Themes
include broadening and deepening concepts of care in food
provisioning and social contexts; critically applying appropriate
technologies; appreciating and integrating indigenous perspectives;
challenging notions of 'waste', 'circular economies' and
commodification; and addressing the ever-present impacts of market
logic framed by growth. This book will be of greatest interest to
students and scholars of critical food studies, sustainability
studies, urban political ecology, geography, environmental studies
such as environmental sociology, anthropology, ethnography,
ecological economics and urban design and planning.
