Series Editors: Michal K. Goodman, University of Reading, UK, and David Goodman, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA.
Food and Society: New Directions takes an interdisciplinary and integrative approach to food studies and the inextricable relationships of food, society and nature. Authors undertake critical assessments of key topics, controversies and thematic trends across all aspects of food systems and their diverse geographies. The series maps out a research agenda that brings cutting-edge perspectives to the study of food through outstanding scholarship presented in an accessible style. The books in the Food and Society: New Directions series create an indispensable library for food research and teaching across the social sciences.
