Description

Explore a new perspective on global nutrition with Reclaiming Food Security from the Earthscan Food and Agriculture series. This work by Routledge challenges the common idea that a successful food system is measured only by the ability to provide the cheapest calories possible. While the last fifty years have seen a rise in calorie availability, this book examines the hidden costs of that progress. The author argues that true food security should go beyond simple calorie counts. A real food system must provide people and nations with the ability to prosper and lead healthy, happy lives both now and in the future. By looking past the metric of cheap calories, this book examines how current systems impact the environment and individual and societal well-being. This text is an important read for those interested in how food systems affect human capabilities and long-term stability. It offers a deep look at why we must redefine what it means to be food secure in a changing world.
