Routledge True Cost Accounting for Food - Balancing the Scale

The current food system faces massive challenges, from extreme hunger to diet-related diseases and significant environmental impacts. This book, True Cost Accounting for Food: Balancing the Scale, explores how we can address these imbalances. As part of the Routledge Studies in Food, Society and the Environment series, this volume examines the need for a radical transformation in how we produce and consume food. By using True Cost Accounting as a framework, the text argues for a systemic shift to create a more balanced global food system. It moves beyond surface-level practices to look at the deep-seated issues within our existing structures. This is a vital resource for those studying the intersection of food, society, and the environment, providing a way to measure and address the true costs of our current methods.
