Together at the Table by Patricia Allen
Everywhere you look, people are more aware of what they eat and where their food comes from. This work talks about people throughout the United States who are building successful alternatives to the contemporary agrifood system and their prospects for the future.“In Together at the Table, sociologist Patricia Allen offers a timely analysis of the discourse and practices of two prominent alternative agrifood movements in the United States: sustainable agriculture and community food securityThese movements have contributed significantly to pushing dominant agrifood institutions in a direction that is more environmentally sound and socially just. . . . Together at the Table . . . will be of immense value to anyone wanting to understand how alternative agrifood movements can transform the current agrifood system.”
—Jason Schreiner Environment
“Scholars, consumers, and activists interested in the alternative food movement will find this book useful. Allen does a fine job of addressing her objective.”
—Heather McIlvaine-Newsad and Christopher D. Merrett Gastronomica
