Food has become an essential component in community development
practice. Whether in reference to building a local or regional food
system or addressing food insecurity, food has become a focus in
community development approaches in many localities. Farmers
markets, community gardens, farm-to-school programs, and other
food-centered initiatives have been used to foster community
development processes across a spectrum of desired outcomes. The
surging interest in food for fostering community development draws
attention to numerous applications, ranging from grassroots efforts
to formal programs sponsored by the public or nonprofit sectors.
These efforts are often in conjunction with local private
businesses, helping create micro-businesses and supporting the
small farm movement. Some regions are even considering economic
development strategies of "food clusters" to promote speciality
food businesses and supporting programs. This volume explores the
relationships between food and community, and the various
approaches for development through a selection of chapters
illustrating a wide range of applications. This book is a
compilation of articles published in the journal Community
Development.
