This manual pertains to "Critical Perspectives on Food Sovereignty: Global Agrarian Transformations, Volume 2," edited by Marc Edelman and published by Routledge. Released on October 2, 2017, this academic book delves into the history, theoretical foundations, and political program of food sovereignty. It features contributions from prominent scholars such as Philip McMichael, Bina Agarwal, Henry Bernstein, and Jan Douwe van der Ploeg, offering critical analysis and interdisciplinary perspectives. The work is intended for academics, researchers, activists, and policymakers, aiming to advance research and organizing in food sovereignty and strengthen its role as a mobilizing frame, policy objective, and plan of action.
The purpose of this manual is to provide comprehensive information on the subject of food sovereignty, as presented in this scholarly text. It covers key concepts, research focuses, and the publication context, which is a special double issue celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Journal of Peasant Studies. The manual is designed to support its intended audience by offering insights into food politics, social movements, policy innovation, and critical agrarian studies. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complexities and advancements within the field of food sovereignty.
This volume is a pioneering contribution to the study of food politics and critical agrarian studies, where food sovereignty has emerged as a pivotal concept over the past few decades, with a wide variety of social movements, on-the-ground experiments, and policy innovations flying under its broad banner. Despite its large and growing popularity, the history, theoretical foundations, and political program of food sovereignty have only occasionally received in-depth analysis and critical scrutiny. This collection brings together both longstanding scholars in critical agrarian studies, such as Philip McMichael, Bina Agarwal, Henry Bernstein, Jan Douwe van der Ploeg, and Marc Edelman, as well as a dynamic roster of early- and mid-career researchers. The ultimate aim is to advance this important frontier of research and organizing, and put food sovereignty on stronger footing as a mobilizing frame, a policy objective, and a plan of action for the human future.
