Alternative Food Networks (eBook, ePUB)

Knowledge, Practice, and Politics

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This timely book provides a critical review of the growth of alternative food networks and their struggle to defend their ethical and aesthetic values against the standardising pressures of the corporate mainstream with their "placeless and nameless" global supply networks. It explores how these alternative movements are "making a difference" and their possible role as fears of global climate change and food insecurity continue to intensify.
