America has a perplexing, multifaceted problem that combines
hunger, obesity, and unhealthy food. This book examines how this
situation was created and shows how people working together can
resolve this longstanding issue. The United States—one of the
world's wealthiest and resource-richest nations—has multiple
food-related problems: declining food quality due to
industrialization of its production, obesity across all age groups,
and a surprisingly large number of households suffering from food
insecurity. These issues threaten to shorten the lives of many and
significantly reduce the quality of life for millions of others.
This book explores the root causes of food-related problems in the
20th and 21st centuries and explains why collective impact—the
social form of working together for a common goal—is the method
that needs to be employed to reach a successful resolution to
hunger, obesity, and the challenges of the industrial food system.
Authored by Mark Winne, a 45-year food activist, the book begins
with background information about the evolution of the U.S. food
movement since the 1960s that documents its incredible growth and
variety of interests, organizations, and sectors. The subsequent
sections demonstrate how these divergent interests have created a
lack of unity and constitute a deterrent to achieving real change
and improvement. Through examples from specific cities and states
as well as a discussion of group dynamics and coalition-building
methods, readers will come away with an understanding of a
complicated topic and grasp the potential of a number of strategies
for creating more cohesion within the food movement—and realizing
meaningful improvements in our food system for current and future
generations.
