Hunger is up, obesity is up, food-borne illness is up, farms are lost to debt and despair; the food system fails growing numbers of people across the world every day. Yet if we adjust our lens, we see ubiquitous commitments to change: food movements and enterprises dedicated to making the world a better place to eat and to live. Food initiatives - from farmers? markets to fair trade coffee - offer a pattern of powerful alternatives to conventional food economics that benefit only a handful of people and corporations. Edible Action argues that food is peculiarly situated to address and to mobilize people against the ills of unjust economic systems, supplanting undemocratic food economies with a people?s economics. | Edible Action by Sally Miller, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
