In response to the challenges of a growing population and food
security, there is an urgent need to construct a new agri-food
sustainability paradigm. This book brings together an integrated
range of key social science insights exploring the contributions
and interventions necessary to build this framework. Building on
over ten years of ESRC funded theoretical and empirical research
centered at BRASS, it focuses upon the key social, economic and
political drivers for creating a more sustainable food system.
Themes include:
- regulation and governance
- sustainable supply chains
- public procurement
- sustainable spatial strategies associated with rural
restructuring and re-calibrated urbanised food systems
- minimising bio-security risk and animal welfare burdens.
The book critically explores the linkages between social science
research and the evolving food security problems facing the world
at a critical juncture in the debates associated with not only food
quality, but also its provenance, vulnerability and the inherent
unsustainability of current systems of production and consumption.
Each chapter examines how the links between research, practice and
policy can begin to contribute to more sustainable, resilient and
justly distributive food systems which would be better equipped to
feed the world by 2050."
