As the threats of food insecurity loom ever larger, the world faces
the sad irony of food shortages in the global South alongside a
purported 'obesity epidemic' in the global North. The twin issues
of food production and food access are of particular concern in the
context of climate change, 'peak oil', biofuels, and land grabs by
wealthy nations. Food Security, Nutrition and Sustainability offers
critical insights by international scholars, with chapters on
global food security, supermarket power, new technologies, and
sustainability. The book also assesses the contributions of diet
and nutrition research in building socially just and
environmentally sustainable food systems and provides policy
recommendations to improve the health and environmental status of
contemporary agri-food systems. The book features contributions
from a range of social science perspectives, including sociology,
anthropology, public health and geography, with case study material
drawn from throughout the world.
