In recent years, the ways in which food is produced, distributed,
and consumed have emerged as prominent health and social issues.
With rising concern about rates of obesity, food systems have
attracted the attention of state actors, leading to both innovative
and controversial public health interventions, such as citywide
soda bans, "veggie prescription" initiatives, and farm-to-school
programs. At the same time, social movement activism has emerged
focused on issues related to food and health, including movements
for food justice, food safety, farm worker's rights, and community
control of land for agricultural production. Meanwhile, many
individuals and families struggle to obtain food that is
affordable, accessible, and meaningfully connected to their
cultures. Volume 18 of Advances in Medical Sociology brings
cutting-edge sociological research to bear on these multiple
dimensions of food systems and their impacts on individual and
population health. This volume will highlight how food systems
matter for health policy, health politics, and the lived
experiences and life chances of individuals and communities.
