Food and Sustainability is the first text on this topic to
consistently and coherently bring together important concepts from
different disciplines to introduce students to a common challenge:
food sustainability. The book explores the issues related to our
growing demand for food from the perspectives of disciplines
ranging from environmental and social sciences, to public health.
It examines food as a point of convergence across these
disciplines, illustrating the need for a transdisciplinary approach
to understand common challenges and opportunities in food systems.
The issues discussed are exemplified in several case studies for
each chapter, which provide a direct avenue for students to apply
the principles and theories set out in each chapter to real-world
problems. In addition, 'Food controversy' panels highlight how
there is very often no one right answer to the problems being
faced, and how different viewpoints and perspectives need to be
weighed up alongside each other to come to workable resolutions.
Online resources: Food sustainability is augmented by a range of
online resources, which include: For students: * Hyperlinks to
extended research readings * Practice quizzes to support
independent study * Answers to in-text questions. For instructors:
* Downloadable (PowerPoint) figures from the book * Answer sheets
to the end of chapter questions * Suggested exam questions.
