Routledge Food Security Governance - Academic Book

Explore the complex landscape of global food systems with Food Security Governance: Empowering Communities, Regulating Corporations. Part of the Routledge Studies in Food, Society and the Environment series, this book addresses a significant gap in current literature by examining food security through the lens of evolving global governance. As modern food systems face challenges like hunger, food waste, health issues, and greenhouse gas emissions, this text provides a necessary analysis. It reviews how the international community has responded to food issues since World War II and examines the connections between actors in corporate global food chains and local food systems. By reviewing paradigms ranging from productivism to food sovereignty, this book offers a detailed look at how the world feeds its population and the regulatory frameworks involved in managing these vital resources.
