A few powerful multinational corporations have consolidated control of agricultural markets and wealth while many farmers struggle to make a living and millions of people go hungry every day. Consumer access to healthy and culturally appropriate food remains largely an option for only those who can afford it. Responding to these destructive practices, global agrarian movements are calling for a transition to agroecology. Agroecological farming follows ecological principles for growing food in a way that respects diverse sociocultural contexts, connects urban eaters and rural growers and attends to power dynamics. Growing and Eating Sustainably shines light on the process of agroecological transition by showcasing the experiences of growers and eaters in southern Brazil, a country where agrarian movements have long been at the forefront of pushing for more sustainable and just food systems. Through stories and photographs of people, landscapes, farms and farming practices, and urban spaces, this book communicates how to advance systems-level agroecological transitions by linking rural and urban areas and connecting diverse agroecological experiences."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Agricultural ecology $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Sustainable agriculture $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Food $x Social aspects $z Brazil. 700 1 $a Bowness, Evan, $e author. 700 1 $a Wittman, Hannah, $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a James, Dana (Scholar) $t Growing and eating sustainably. $d Halifax, NS : Fernwood Publishing, 2021 $z 9781773635101 $z 9781773635101 $w (OCoLC)1259052088 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802020959.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B29CA63A9ABF11EC841DE5674CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
