Degrowth opposes the relentless pursuit of growth and advocates for everyday practices that restrict socio-metabolic energy and material flows within the confines of our planet. The editors aim to chart the pathways for food for degrowth to establish itself as a prominent field of study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA diverse array of international contributors presents a wealth of examples and possibilities to create more sustainable, localized, resilient, and healthy food systems through the principles of degrowth. Chapters are organized into sections that critically explore food for degrowth in various spheres, including households, collectives, networks, and broader activism and discourses. Key themes include expanding and deepening concepts of care in food provisioning and social contexts; critically evaluating appropriate technologies; appreciating and integrating indigenous perspectives; challenging notions of waste, circular economies, and commodification; and addressing the enduring impacts of market logic driven by growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book holds immense appeal to students and scholars engaged in critical food studies, sustainability studies, urban political ecology, geography, environmental studies, such as environmental sociology, anthropology, ethnography, ecological economics, and urban design and planning. It offers valuable insights and perspectives that contribute to our understanding of the complexities and challenges associated with fostering sustainable and equitable food systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367650674\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anitra Nelson,FerneEdwards","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104165261562,"sku":"9780367650674","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_c50efd68-d6c7-48ff-b1ae-70e2b633188f.jpg?v=1654417013","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/food-for-degrowth-perspectives-and-practices-9780367650674","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
