Creating Food Futures

'A thought-provoking mix of insights from different disciplines, discourses and case studies into the challenges in creating a more ethical and fairer food system able to deal with supermarket power, flawed supply chains and inequitable access to resources and power. In the book the meaning of environment, food literacy, fair trade, and the importance of food practices, trade rules and policies all come under scrutiny.' - Geoff Tansey, Joseph Rowntree Visionary for a Just and Peaceful World, Member [and Trustee], Food Ethics Council 'Creating Food Futures is an impressive collection of case studies and analytical reflections on the dynamic changes occurring in agrifood systems around the world. This book will be an important resource in the debates over and proposals for more socially just and environmentally sustainable food and agriculture in the 21st century.' - Douglas L. Murray, Center for Fair and Alternative Trade Studies, Colorado State University ’A thought-provoking collection of essays investigating the potential and the building blocks for a more democratic food system. They challenge both the private sector's growing influence on food governance, and the pessimism that presumes citizens are powerless in the face of this trend. Critical, open-minded and worth a read.’ - Tom Macmillan, Food Ethics, The Magazine of the Food Ethics Council
