The industrial food system, from production to consumption and
waste, is a major contributor to environmental, social, and
economic problems. A few powerful multinational corporations have
consolidated control of agricultural markets and wealth while many
farmers struggle to make a living and millions of people go hungry
every day. Consumer access to healthy and culturally appropriate
food remains largely an option for only those who can afford it.
Responding to these destructive practices, global agrarian
movements are calling for a transition to agroecology.
Agroecological farming follows ecological principles for growing
food in a way that respects diverse sociocultural contexts,
connects urban eaters and rural growers, and attends to power
dynamics. Growing and Eating Sustainably shines light on the
process of agroecological transition by showcasing the experiences
of growers and eaters in southern Brazil, a country where agrarian
movements have long been at the forefront of pushing for more
sustainable and just food systems. Through stories and photographs
of people, landscapes, farms and farming practices, and urban
spaces, this book communicates how to advance systems-level
agroecological transitions by linking rural and urban areas and
connecting diverse agroecological experiences, with insights that
have relevance for supporting similar transitions around the world.
