Reseña del editor:

This book will interest students and scholars of environmental, health, and food studies, as well as policy-makers and advocates interested in improving the modern food system and democratic governance.

Nota de la solapa:

Civil society organizations are among the most vociferous critics ofthe modern food system. Yet even after decades of campaigns,governments have largely failed to address health and sustainabilityissues in an effective way. This volume showcases the research ofexperts from multiple disciplines who argue that solutions lie not justin lobbying elected officials but in initiatives at thesubparliamentary level. Real change will come, they argue, whenadvocacy groups develop innovative strategies capable of influencing decision makers more resistant to publicpressure: business lobbies well connected to government agencies,middle managers, and ministries unused to collaborating acrossdepartmental mandates.
