The third edition of The Sociology of Food and Agriculture has undergone a thorough revision and update, offering a cutting-edge and comprehensive introduction to the study of food and society. The book begins by delving into the food economy, exploring topics such as foodscapes, the financialization of food, and a dedicated chapter on food and nutrition (in)security. In Part II, the book takes a more nuanced approach, problematizing the food system from the perspectives of marginalized bodies. Chapters focus on agricultural and food labor, peasantries, gender, ethnicity, and poverty, topics often overlooked in other texts. Part III examines the complex relationship between food and the environment, covering key issues such as agro-ecosystems, food justice, sustainable food, and agriculture and food sovereignty. The final part of the book explores food futures, including a brand-new chapter on sustainable diets and ethical consumption.
Throughout the book, international case studies are used to illustrate key concepts and provide real-world examples. Learning objectives, suggested discussion questions, and recommendations for further reading are included to aid student learning.
The Sociology of Food and Agriculture is an invaluable resource for students studying food studies, including food justice, food and nutrition security, sustainable diets, food sovereignty, environmental sociology, agriculture, and cultural studies. It offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex relationships between food, society, and the environment, and provides a foundation for promoting sustainable and equitable food systems.
