TY - JOUR AU - Anderson, Molly PY - 2021/12/18 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Is “sustainability” still relevant to food systems, or do we need a new term?

VL - 11 IS - 1 SE - Review DO - 10.5304/jafscd.2021.111.018 UR - https://foodsystemsjournal.org/index.php/fsj/article/view/1042 SP - 219–221 AB - <p><em>First paragraph:</em></p><p>I looked forward to reading the <em>Routledge Hand­book of Sustainable and Regenerative Food Systems</em> because I greatly respect the work of its editors and wanted to know how they would organize such a vast topic. It hardly needs repeating that today’s dominant industrialized food system is destroying biodiversity, degrading soil and water, emitting greenhouse gases, creating products that cause diet-related diseases, erasing traditional farm livelihoods, and destroying farm communities. Despite ample documentation of the problems and wide agreement on their existence, the solu­tions are much more contentious. What are the alternatives to the destructive industrialized food system, and what is the best trajectory from current practices to a better future? I hoped that this book would provide solid answers. . . .</p> ER -
