Table of ContentsReviews'This book makes an important contribution to the literature on alternative food systems. It moves beyond enumerating the problems with the current food system (including problems with alternative food strategies) and begins to build ideas of what a sustainable food system might include. In particular, the focus on particular strategies, policies, and business arrangements that could be part of a sustainable food system makes this book a must-read for those interested in developing a sustainable future.' Sarah Wakefield, University of Toronto, Canada 'Imagining Sustainable Food Systems is a thought-provoking collection of articles...Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, professionals/practitioners, and policy makers.' Choice 'This book makes an important contribution to the literature on alternative food systems.
