Food Geographies is a comprehensive and insightful accounting of the interplay between space, place, and people in food systems. Joassart-Marcelli adeptly demonstrates not only the inherent geographical qualities of food systems but also how food can provide a lens for understanding many social science topics—including poverty, environmental justice, and identity. Especially valuable is the emphasis on critical perspectives and illustrative examples of human–environment relationships. Accessible, yet far-reaching, this textbook is the perfect resource for fostering student understanding of complex and dynamic food systems through a geographic lens.
