520 _aThe idea of the "foodscape" refers to the social and spatial organization of networks and food supply systems, taking into account the physical places and practices of food production, processing, distribution, sales, preparation and consumption. In an age when issues of food scarcity, unequal food distribution and pollution and contamination regularly make the news, thinking about food-related problems and challenges is becoming increasingly critical. These issues influence our planet, our global way of life and our everyday existence. Flourishing Foodscapes brings together case studies to explore how bottom-up initiatives and private projects are trying to future-proof food communities around the world. An accessible introduction to a complex topic, Flourishing Foodscapes argues that if we really want to do something about our world's food problems, we will have to think structurally about these issues on a larger scale.
