The Sociology of Food and Agriculture : Routledge : 9780367680022 : 0367680025 : 27 Sep 2021 : "Thoroughly revised and updated, the third edition of The Sociology of Food and Agriculture provides a cutting-edge, comprehensive introduction to the study of food and society. The book begins by examining the food economy, with chapters focussing on foodscapes, the financialization of food and a new chapter dedicated to food and nutrition (in)security. In Part 2, the book addresses community and culture. While some books only look at the interrelationships between food and culture, this section problematises the food system from the standpoint of marginalised bodies.

Part 3 examines food and the environment, with chapters addressing important topics such as agro-ecosystems, food justice, sustainable food and agriculture and food sovereignty
