This book offers insights into the governance of contemporary food
systems and their ongoing transformation by social movements. As
global food systems face multiple threats and challenges there is
an opportunity for social movements and civil society to play a
more active role in building social justice and ecological
sustainability. Drawing on case studies from Canada, the United
States, Europe and New Zealand, this edited collection showcases
promising ways forward for civil society actors to engage in
governance. The authors address topics including: the variety of
forms that governance engagement takes from multi-stakeholderism to
co-governance to polycentrism/self-governance; the values and power
dynamics that underpin these different types of governance
processes; effective approaches for achieving desired values and
goals; and, the broader relationships and networks that may be
activated to support change. By examining and comparing a variety
of governance innovations, at a range of scales, the book offers
insights for those considering contemporary food systems and their
ongoing transformation. It is suitable for food studies students
and researchers within geography, environmental studies,
anthropology, policy studies, planning, health sciences and
sociology, and will also be of interest to policy makers and civil
society organisations with a focus on food systems. The Open Access
