Routledge Geographies of Food and Power - Academic Textbook

Geographies of Food and Power by Routledge offers a deep look into how food is produced and consumed globally. Designed for undergraduate students at intermediate or advanced levels, this textbook provides a fresh perspective on standard geographic subjects. It moves beyond traditional narratives to examine how inequality and the legacies of colonialism shape our food systems. By taking an intersectional approach to difference and power, the text explores uneven production and the social structures behind what we eat. It brings attention to regions and places often left out of conventional discussions, such as the role of the Americas in the domestication of plants. This resource is an essential tool for students and educators looking to understand the complex relationship between geography, power, and global food networks.
