Civil society organizations are among the most vociferous critics ofthe modern food system. Yet even after decades of campaigns, governments have largely failed to address health and sustainabilityissues in an effective way. This volume showcases the research ofexperts from multiple disciplines who argue that solutions lie not justin lobbying elected officials but in initiatives at thesubparliamentary level.
