Description

Since the late 1990s, agro-food researchers have identified attempts to re-configure food provision around more ethically-sound, economically and ecologically-sustainable relationships between food producers, processors and consumers. Largely in the context of developed market economies, notions of 'relocalization' and the 'quality turn' have figured prominently in discussions about these 'alternative' food geographies. Emerging empirical research, however, is now challenging some of the assumptions embedded within such discussions. This book critically reflects on the great diversity of debates and practices surrounding efforts to reform contemporary food provision in different places and spaces.
