Economics And Morality Afterword Bibliography IndexReviewsThis is a hugely rich account of the local food movement as it manifests itself across Europe, offering compelling case studies of creative alternatives outside the capitalist mainstream. The book digs deep into the social and ecological values associated with food, and fully succeeds in its efforts to bring politics back into the debate. Fascinating, inspiring and a delight to read. -- John Hilary, Executive Director at War on Want This is a timely book that will help to inform, from an anthropological standpoint, academic and political conversations about contemporary alternatives to agro-industrial food. The four cases examined here enrich our understanding of the tight articulation of global-local values and economic processes. It is a great addition to the growing body of food studies. -- Steffan Igor Ayora-Diaz, Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan, author of 'Foodscapes, Foodfields and Identities in Yucatan' 'A hugely rich account of the local food movement as it manifests itself across Europe, offering compelling case studies of creative alternatives outside the capitalist mainstream' -- John Hilary, Executive Director at War on Want 'This is a timely book that will help to inform, from an anthropological standpoint, academic and political conversations about contemporary alternatives to agro-industrial food' -- Steffan Igor Ayora-Diaz, Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan, author of 'Foodscapes, Foodfields and Identities in Yucatan' 'This is a timely book that will help to inform, from an anthropological standpoint, academic and political conversations about contemporary alternatives to agro-industrial food' -- Steffan Igor Ayora-Diaz, Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan, author of 'Foodscapes, Foodfields and Identities in Yucatan' 'A hugely rich account of the local food movement as it manifests itself across Europe, offering compelling case studies of creative alternatives outside the capitalist mainstream' -- John Hilary, Executive Director at War on Want Author InformationJeff Pratt is Senior Research Fellow in Anthropology at the University of Sussex.
