Description

Explore the complex reality of food security in modern society with Food Bank Nations: Poverty, Corporate Charity and the Right to Food. This academic work from the Routledge Studies in Food, Society and the Environment series examines why feeding donated surplus food has become a standard response to hunger in affluent nations. The book investigates the causes of domestic hunger and food waste within OECD member states. It looks closely at the thirty-year rise of US-style charitable food banking and its role in the global landscape. Rather than accepting food banking as a simple solution, this text questions the effectiveness and sustainability of relying on corporate food waste to address poverty. This publication is an essential resource for those studying the moral legitimacy of current food systems. It provides a deep look into how corporate charity operates and the impact it has on the right to food. Readers will gain a better understanding of the origins of modern food banking and the systemic issues surrounding food waste and hunger in the rich world.
