Food and Sustainability in the Twenty-First Century: Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives

Book Overview

Unlike the other books in the market, this volume brings a multidisciplinary focus to bear on the topic. The volume emphasises the symbiosis between different subject areas, and demonstrates the value in analysing food sustainability from multiple perspectives. The disciplinary fulcrum of the book is anthropology, thereby filling a key gap in the market; there are surprisingly few recent volumes which look at food sustainability from an anthropological point of view. Several of the contributions use ethnographic methods, showing how microscale studies can illuminate macroscale issues. The book also includes contributions from practitioners working in the broad area of food sustainability, which provides an additional applied dimension to the collection. In all chapters, specialist jargon is deliberately avoided, allowing specialist knowledge from the different disciplinary perspectives to be available to all readers.
