This volume explores the issues of convergence and divergence in
alternative agrifood movements through a theoretical and empirical
engagement of the topic by notable agrifood researchers from
Europe, North America and South America. It probes the degree to
which the numerous alternative agrifood movements that have emerged
in recent years in response to the legitimation crisis of
conventional agriculture have converged around a central
alternative thesis or pursued divergent paths of development. Some
alternative agrifood movements represent radical critiques of
conventional agriculture that challenge the existing system while
other movements engage in reformist and accommodative approaches
that are viewed as complimentary. The book begins with chapters
that enhance the theoretical discussions on the pathways and
obstacles to convergence followed by empirical case studies on
organics, food sovereignty, landless workers, alternative food
systems, and food policy councils.
