‘A clarion call to anyone desiring more sustainable and just food systems, emphasizing such outcomes cannot be had without insights from the social sciences. The chapters interrogate barriers and opportunities for change; analyses that are as comprehensive as they are enjoyable to read.’

‘This is a fine and wonderful book. We know that food systems worldwide have been transformed in recent decades. They have made food a raging success, more people fed than ever. They also cause vast ill-health and planetary harm, and leave hundreds of millions of people still hungry. This is a book about the urgent need for redesign and collective action. It brings vital clarity to the right questions, and shows how improvements in social justice can occur.’
