Food is a contentious and emotive issue, subject to critiques from
multiple perspectives. Alternative food movements - including the
different articulations of local, food miles, seasonality, food
justice, food knowledge and food sovereignty - consistently invoke
themes around autonomy, sufficiency, cooperation, mutual aid,
freedom, and responsibility. In this stimulating and provocative
book the authors link these issues to utopias and intentional
communities. Using a food utopias framework presented in the
introduction, they examine food stories in three interrelated and
complementary ways: utopias as critique of existing systems;
utopias as engagement with experimentation of the novel, the
forgotten, and the hopeful in the future of the food system; and
utopias as process that recognizes the time and difficulty inherent
in changing the status quo. The chapters address theoretical
aspects of food utopias and also present case studies from a range
of contexts and regions, including Argentina, Italy, Switzerland
and USA. These focus on key issues in contemporary food studies
including equity, locality, the sacred, citizenship, community and
food sovereignty. Food utopias offers ways forward to imagine a
creative and convivial food system.
