Beskrivelse

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the production and consumption of food, suitable for use in undergraduate classrooms, either at the intermediate or advanced level.

It takes an intersectional approach to difference and power and approaches standard subjects in the geography of food with a fresh perspective focusing on inequality, uneven production and legacies of colonialism. The book also focuses on places and regions often overlooked in conventional narratives, such as the Americas in the domestication of plants. The topics covered in the textbook include:



descriptions and analyses of food systems

histories of agricultural development with a focus on the roles of different regions

major commodities such as meat, grains and produce with a focus on the place of production

contemporary challenges in the food system, including labor, disasters/conflict and climate change

recent and emerging trends in food and agriculture such as lab-grown meat and vertical urban farmsGeographies of Food and Power takes a synthetic approach by discussing food as something produced within an interconnected system, in which labor, food quality and the environment are considered together. It will be a valuable resource for students of human geography, environmental geography, economic geography, food studies and development.
