This comprehensive textbook offers a thorough exploration of the production and consumption of food, making it an ideal resource for undergraduate classrooms at the intermediate or advanced level. By adopting an intersectional approach to difference and power, it delves into standard subjects within the geography of food with a fresh perspective that emphasizes inequality, uneven production, and the legacies of colonialism. The book also sheds light on places and regions that are often overlooked in conventional narratives, such as the Americas' role in the domestication of plants.
The textbook encompasses a wide range of topics, including:
• Descriptions and analyses of food systems
• Histories of agricultural development, with a particular focus on the roles of different regions
• Major commodities such as meat, grains, and produce, examining their production locations
• Contemporary challenges in the food system, encompassing labor, disasters/conflict, and climate change
• Recent and emerging trends in food and agriculture, such as lab-grown meat and vertical urban farms
Geographies of Food and Power adopts a synthetic approach by treating food as a product within an interconnected system. It recognizes the interdependence of labor, food quality, and the environment and aims to provide a holistic understanding of the food system. This textbook is valuable for students pursuing studies in human geography, environmental geography, economic geography, food studies, and development. Its comprehensive coverage and interdisciplinary approach make it an essential resource for those interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics and challenges associated with food production and consumption.
