Description
Book Synopsis
The global industrial food system contributes not only to environmental degradation but also to various forms of social inequality. Despite the abundance of reasons for fundamental transformation, there is an intense conflict over the future of food production.
Focusing on Germany, Schoppek explores the transformative potential of strategic agency for social-ecological alternatives to industrialised capitalism within the agricultural sector. Comparing three initiatives who practice reform, innovation and resistance offers compelling insights into how and why change happens - or does not happen - and what it takes to build powerful alliances for a more just and resilient food future.
