Food And Agriculture In Urbanized Societies - Pathways For A Better Future

98,04€ + 10% CARD

 For the first time in human history, more people inhabit urban than rural areas. Investigating the experience of hunger and malnutrition in urban spaces, Food and Agriculture in Urbanized Societies confronts the persistence of social inequalities, constant waves of economic crises and accelerating climate shifts, asking, how and to what extent food systems will recover and rebuild after the unprecedented eruption of a pandemic? An in-depth diagnosis of the state of the art of the current and dominant agri-food system, the broad and diverse collective intelligence in this edited collection proposes alternatives for change and redesign, bringing together a set of pioneering ideas and solutions to old and new problems. From environmental regeneration and the quality of food to the nutritional, political and economic perspective, the chapters culminate with the focus on developing a more integrative and systematic approach towards urban and rural areas.Inspiring innovative and sustainable practices, governance perspectives and informing public policies, Food and Agriculture in Urbanized Societies offers the most current research on urbanized agriculture to truly provide ‘pathways for a better future’ to foster more equitable and fair societies.

Innovation For Sustainability - Small Farmers Facing New Challenges In The Evolving Food Systems

109,96€ + 10% CARD

 Small farms represent important components of food systems and rural areas, as sources of occupation and livelihood, factors of socio-economic diversity, cradles of grass-roots innovation and experimentation. Their capacity to adapt and to contribute positively to societal challenges depends on the strategies they can develop and their ability to innovate. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the determinants, dynamics and outcomes of rural and agricultural change processes, with a special focus on the role of small and family farming. Covering both the system and the farm level of analysis, the authors offer a comprehensive view of approaches and models capable to grasp different complementary aspects of the development trajectories followed by farms, food systems and territories facing multi-dimensional drivers of change and exposed to a range of vulnerability factors. The emerging characters and roles of innovation networks and social learning, as well as the decision-making processes at the farm level are explored in particular depth, with attention to the multi-dimensional societal expectations vis-à-vis agriculture, small farms and rural areas, with specific attention to food and nutrition security concerns.

Transforming The Rural - Global Processes And Local Futures

128,51€ + 10% CARD

 In recent decades, globalization has transformed rural societies and economies across the world. Much has been written by social scientists about the actors and structures underpinning these transformations and the effects on particular social groups, organizations and industries. Yet, to date much less attention has been given to the specific global processes that are fundamental to contemporary rural change. Rural Change and Global Processes provides a systematic analysis of the key global processes transforming rural spaces in the early 21st century - financialization; standardization; consumption, and commodification. Through detailed case studies, the book examines why these processes are important, how they work in practice, and the challenges they raise as well as opportunities created. The book will be of particular relevance to researchers, graduate students, and policy-makers interested in the implications of global processes for rural people and livelihoods.
