Description
Leading academics and practitioners consider how we trade, process and purchase the food we eat and the many challenges and opportunities that arise from these practices. They offer examples of positive ways forward in food and farming that address issues of social inclusion, environmental sustainability and the evolution of more equitable trade and market relations. Drawing upon inspiring examples of innovative food chains across the globe, Creating Food Futures shows you what is being done and what more could be attempted.
