School food moves up the political agenda

Abstract

First paragraph:

The school food reform agenda is moving from the margins to the mainstream of the political agenda in the countries of both the Global North and the Global South. Jennifer Gaddis and Sarah Robert, the joint editors, are well-equipped to curate the transnational contributions to this excellent book because their previous publications in this field are highly regarded. Being a global survey, the book covers an enormous amount of ground, both thematic and territorial, all of which is organized around four themes: national pro­grams, youth and worker voices, just school food economies, and tools and campaigns for systems change. . . .

Note: An open access version of this book is available from MIT Press. The authors also provide a free discussion and activity guide to accompany the book.
