Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
Illuminating the global food system as a highly dynamic set of interconnecting interests and sub-systems that drives rapid technological, societal, and cultural change, this cutting-edge Research Agenda examines the pressing issues that confront food systems, and the emerging responses to them.
Chapters from internationally renowned specialists address the pressing issues facing food systems, including the growing concentration and power of large agri-food corporations, the contribution of food production to climate breakdown, the exploitation of agricultural labour, food poverty, and the reconfiguration of animal bodies. Reviewing possible ‘solutions’, chapters then examine the potential for a digital agricultural revolution, the contribution of alternative proteins in dietary change, and the emergence of regionalized and regenerative food systems. The book concludes with a look towards hybrid foodscapes, exploring how design can help us to re-imagine our stake in food systems of the future.
Interdisciplinary, holistic, and accessible in its approach, this innovative book will prove vital to students and scholars engaged in the study of food – from production to consumption – as well as those concerned with policymaking in the fields of public health and nutrition, food governance, sustainability, and environmental advocacy.

‘In a lucid and timely call for new research, Colin Sage has curated chapters from leading food scholars on major issues affecting the global food system, and offers hope that both pragmatic and visionary solutions are emerging, which will benefit from a targeted research agenda. Sage’s book is vital, compelling reading for students, scientists, and the wider world of people concerned about our future food system.’

‘如果没有社会科学的见解，就不可能对想要更可持续和仅仅是食品系统的任何人进行宣传。这些章节审问了变革的障碍和机会；既欣赏又可以阅读的分析。’

‘这是一本精美的书。我们知道，近几十年来，全世界的粮食系统已经转变。他们使食物取得了艰难的成功，比以往任何时候都多。它们还会造成巨大的健康和行星伤害，并留下数亿人饿。这是一本关于迫切需要重新设计和集体行动的书。它给正确的问题带来了重要的清晰度，并显示了如何进行社会正义的改善。’
