Description

Explore the global fight against the agro-industrial food system with Food Activism: Agency, Democracy and Economy. This academic collection examines how people around the world challenge the exploitation of resources and the loss of local food varieties. Through the lens of international anthropologists, this book investigates the negative health consequences of modern food systems and how communities respond to these pressures. Readers will learn how individuals and groups use food as a way to negotiate or cope with power structures. By studying food activism across different regions, the text provides a deep look into how people exercise agency within the global economy. This work is essential for those studying the connections between food, politics, and social change. It offers a detailed perspective on how food serves as a tool for democratic expression and social resistance in a changing world.
