This compelling book explores the intimate connections between
people and plants, agriculture and cooking, and the practical work
of building local food networks and transnational social movements.
Lauren E. Baker uses corn and maize to consider central debates
about food security and food sovereignty, biodiversity and
biotechnology, culture and nature, as well as globalization and
local responses, in Mexico and beyond. For the author, corn
symbolizes the commoditization of agriculture and the cultural,
spiritual, ecological and economic separation of people from
growing, cooking, and sharing food. Conversely, maize represents
emerging food movements that address contemporary health,
environmental, and economic imperatives while rooted in
agricultural and culinary traditions. The meeting of corn and maize
reveals the challenge of, and possibilities for, reclaiming food
from its commodity status in the global context of financial
turmoil, food crises, and climate change.
