Food is a source of nourishment, a cause for celebration, an
inducement to temptation, a means of influence, and signifies good
health and well-being. Together with other life enhancing goods
such as clean water, unpolluted air, adequate shelter and suitable
clothing, food is a basic good which is necessary for human
flourishing. In recent times, however, various environmental and
social challenges have emerged, which are having a profound effect
on both the natural world and built environment - such as climate
change, feeding a growing world population, nutritional poverty and
obesity. Consequently, whilst the relationships between producers,
supermarkets, regulators and the individual have never been more
important, they are becoming increasingly complicated. In the
context of a variety of hard and soft law solutions, with a
particular focus on corporate social responsibility (CSR), the
authors explore the current relationship between all actors in the
global food supply chain. Corporate Social Responsibility, Social
Justice and the Global Food Supply Chain also provides a
comprehensive and interdisciplinary response to current calls for
reform in relation to social and environmental justice, and
proposes an alternative approach to current CSR initiatives. This
comprises an innovative multi-agency proposal, with the aim of
achieving a truly responsible and sustainable food retail system.
Because only by engaging in the widest possible participatory
exercise and reflecting on the urban locale in novel, material and
cultural ways, is it possible to uncover new directions in
understanding, framing and tackling the modern phenomena of, for
instance, food deserts, obesity, nutritional poverty and social
injustice. Corporate Social Responsibility, Social Justice and the
Global Food Supply Chain engages with a variety of disciplines,
including, law, economics, management, marketing, retailing,
politics, sociology, psychology, diet and nutrition, consumer
behaviour, environmental studies and geography. It will be of
interest to both practitioners and academics, including
postgraduate students, social scientists and policy-makers.
