Each lesson is written in an accessible and engaging format, incorporates historical and contemporary topics and examples, and discusses hot button issues wherever relevant.

Recenzii

This book fills a major need. For professors interested in pulling back the veil of their students' foodways, this book engages them at each step in a food systems analysis, from the environment and food products, to the workers who handle our food and the corporations and governments that make key regulatory decisions. While other books focus on either food or agriculture
Twenty Lessons in the Sociology of Food and Agriculture is a compelling volume because it combines the scholarly and teaching talents of prominent scholars in the sociology of agri-food systems. The book is organized and written to be accessible to undergraduate students, but still presents material in a sophisticated and intellectually challenging manner. The breadth of the coverage is impressive, as is the treatment of each topic. The text is an excellent contribution to the emerging and fast-growing field of food studies.
As a long-time instructor of sociology courses on food and agriculture, this is the reader I have been waiting for. Twenty Lessons in the Sociology of Food and Agriculture exposes students to key discussions and debates that are at the forefront of food and agriculture. The lessons are written by leading scholars in the field
