Reviews

In Together at the Table, sociologist Patricia Allen offers a timely analysis of the discourse and practices of two prominent alternative agrifood movements in the United States: sustainable agriculture and community food security. These movements have contributed significantly to pushing dominant agrifood institutions in a direction that is more environmentally sound and socially just.... Together at the Table... will be of immense value to anyone wanting to understand how alternative agrifood movements can transform the current agrifood system. - Jason Schreiner, Environment
