Jennifer Clapp is Professor and Canada Research Chair in Global Food Security and Sustainability in the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability at the University of Waterloo
“Jennifer Clapp has done it again. Bravo! A true classic, Food is
breathtaking in its scope and insight. In bringing this brilliant
work up to the moment, Clapp demystifies the global food economy so
we can all realize our power to transform it.”
Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet and
co-author of World Hunger: 10 Myths “The global food economy may
seem remote from daily experience, but Jennifer Clapp explains how
it affects every aspect of what we eat and, therefore, our health
and welfare. Best of all, she provides the information and tools
advocates can use to redesign the global food economy to promote
fair trade, food justice, and food sovereignty.”
Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public
Health at New York University, and author of Soda Politics
“In the third edition of this invaluable text, Jennifer Clapp
synthesizes the latest literature in a rapidly changing and vital
field, in ways that are rigorous, accessible, and always
thought-provoking. From the end of the Second World War to the
thick of the climate emergency, Food tells the story of the modern
food system with signature clarity and sophistication.”
Raj Patel, University of Texas at Austin “Food is detailed, it is
engrossing, and it is clear. The documentation of the political and
economic motivations that have shaped the current food system over
the past decades is enlightening for the scientific food community
and the general public.”
