Routledge Handbook of Sustainable and Regenerative Food Systems

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 Routledge Handbook for Sustainable and Regenerative Food Systems brings together the different dimensions of food in a comprehensive manner. It provides new insights for regenerating our broken food systems while making clear the role that care, pleasure, cultures, people and the planet play in this. A different way to approach alternative food systems and practices under the regenerative umbrella where sharing, caring and commoning play a central role. Definitely a must read for those willing to imagine thriving food futures." - Dr Marta Rivera Ferre, Director, Agroecology and Food Systems Chair, UNESCO Chair Women, University of Vic-Central University of Catalonia, Catalonia "There is an unprecedented consensus that a deep reform of food systems is needed. However, a shared vision on how to get the reform done does not exist yet. This Handbook - providing a coherent set of principles, theory and evidence - addresses this gap. It is an essential resource for researchers, policy makers and civil society to build visions and practices for transition." - Professor Gianluca Brunori, Professor of Food Policy, University of Pisa, Italy
