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.
