Kerssen and Zoe W. Brent -- Conclusion: a new food politics / Alison Hope Alkon and Julie Guthman. 520 $a "New and exciting forms of food activism are emerging as supporters of sustainable agriculture increasingly recognize the need for a broader, more strategic and more politicized food politics that engages with questions of social, racial, and economic justice. This book highlights examples of campaigns to restrict industrial agriculture's use of pesticides and other harmful technologies, struggles to improve the pay and conditions of workers throughout the food system, and alternative projects that seek to de-emphasize notions of individualism and private ownership. Grounded in over a decade of scholarly critique of food activism, this volume seeks to answer the question of "what next," inspiring scholars, students, and activists toward collective, cooperative, and oppositional struggles for change."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Food security $z United States. 650 0 $a Sustainable agriculture $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Organic farming $z United States. 650 0 $a Food $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Food consumption $z United States. 650 0 $a Social justice $z United States. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Agriculture & Food. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Human Geography. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology. $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Alkon, Alison Hope, $e editor. 700 1 $a Guthman, Julie, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t New food activism. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2017] $z 9780520965652 $w (DLC) 2016057072 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804012010.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213011433.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20171101010204.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E045F88774811E7923FA1BEDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
