The Politics of Food Insecurity in Canada and the United Kingdom (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Mendly-Zambo, Zsofia; Raphael, Dennis

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Addressing a neglected area in academic research, media coverage and public understanding, this book takes a critical political economy approach to understanding food insecurity in Canada and the UK. It examines how current economic and political systems create food insecurity and why food charity does little to address the problem, diverting the attention of policy makers, the media and the public from the sources of food insecurity. This book provides a vision of a future whereby public control over the distribution of resources -including food - will eliminate food insecurity and other conditions that threaten health.
