This handbook includes contributions from established and emerging
scholars from around the world and draws on multiple approaches and
subjects to explore the socio-economic, cultural, ecological,
institutional, legal, and policy aspects of regenerative food practices.
The future of food is uncertain. We are facing an overwhelming number of
interconnected and complex challenges related to the ways we grow,
distribute, access, eat, and dispose of food. Yet, there are stories of
hope and opportunities for radical change towards food systems that
enhance the ability of living things to co-evolve. Given this,
activities and imaginaries looking to improve, rather than just sustain,
communities and ecosystems are needed, as are fresh perspectives and new
terminology. The Routledge Handbook of Sustainable and Regenerative
Food Systems addresses this need. The chapters cover diverse practices,
geographies, scales, and entry-points. They focus not only on the core
requirements to deliver sustainable agriculture and food supply, but go
beyond this to think about how these can also actively participate with
social-ecological systems. The book is presented in an accessible way,
with reflection questions meant to spark discussion and debate on how to
transition to safe, just, and healthy food systems. Taken together, the
chapters in this handbook highlight the consequences of current food
practices and showcase the multiple ways that people are doing food
differently.
The Routledge Handbook of Sustainable and Regenerative Food Systems is
essential reading for students and scholars interested in food systems,
governance and practices, agroecology, rural sociology, and
socio-environmental studies.
