Routledge Food Security Governance - Global Food Systems Book

Food Security Governance: Empowering Communities, Regulating Corporations provides a deep look into the evolving landscape of global food governance. This Routledge publication addresses the gap in existing literature by examining how modern food systems create hunger, food waste, health issues, and greenhouse gas emissions. By applying food system analysis, the text reviews how the international community has responded to food challenges since World War II. It explores the connections between actors in corporate global food chains and the local food systems that sustain most of the world's population. Readers will learn about different paradigms, ranging from productivism to food sovereignty, making it an essential resource for understanding the complex relationship between communities and corporate regulation.
