Reviews
"This book fills a major need. For professors interested in pulling back the veil of their students' foodways, this book engages them at each step in a food systems analysis, from the environment and food products, to the workers who handle our food and the corporations and governments that make key regulatory decisions. While other books focus on either food or agriculture--and typically minimize global issues and technology--this book brings all of it together."--Jennifer Rogers-Brown, Long Island University "Twenty Lessons in the Sociology of Food and Agriculture is a compelling volume because it combines the scholarly and teaching talents of prominent scholars in the sociology of agri-food systems. The book is organized and written to be accessible to undergraduate students, but still presents material in a sophisticated and intellectually challenging manner. The breadth of the coverage is impressive, as is the treatment of each topic. The text is an excellent contribution to the emerging and fast-growing field of food studies."--Rick Welsh, Syracuse University "As a long-time instructor of sociology courses on food and agriculture, this is the reader I have been waiting for. Twenty Lessons in the Sociology of Food and Agriculture exposes students to key discussions and debates that are at the forefront of food and agriculture. The lessons are written by leading scholars in the field--often based on their original research--and yet they are accessible, engaging, and filled with stimulating examples."--Carmen Bain, Iowa State University, "This book fills a major need.

Synopsis
Twenty Lessons in the Sociology of Food and Agriculture examines food and agriculture from farm to fork using a sociological lens. Following the "Lessons" format, the book presents twenty sociological lessons on food and agriculture from both established and up-and-coming scholars. Each lesson is written in an accessible and engaging format, incorporates historical and contemporary topics and examples, and discusses hot button issues wherever relevant. The book draws primarily on cases and issues in the United States, but given the global character of food and agriculture, it also incorporates relevant examples from other countries.
