Riassunto

Gender and Food: A Critical Look at the Food System synthesizes existing theoretical and empirical research on food, gender, and intersectionality to offer students and scholars a framework from which to understand how gender is central to the production, distribution, and consumption of food.

Testo aggiuntivo

Koch skillfully connects a looming crisis within our food system to its social counterpart, gender inequality. The book’s message is loud and clear: transforming the food system and its problems requires nothing short of truly recognizing and transforming how we think about gender.
