Rethinking Food System Transformation

by Rachel Bezner Kerr (Editor), T. L. Pendergrast (Editor), Bobby J. Smith II (Editor)

This book contains a collection of selected papers from the 2017 Farm - to - Uniting for a Just and Sustainable Food System conference in Ithaca, New York, which explored what different advocates, stakeholders, growers, and community members today prioritize when it comes to justice, action, and transformation in the agri-food system. The research presented at this symposium shows the diverse range of approaches scientists have taken to investigate this aforementioned question. The papers represent a combined effort to creatively educate, share, and connect work being done by stakeholders on food system transformation.
