Food commons

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This entry introduces the concept of food commons in the context of scholarship and activism on commons, commoning, and food systems transformation. I then draw out some key tensions and issues that have surfaced in research on food commons related to questions of materiality, scale, and urban-rural relations. I close with recommendations for approaches that future research can take to address these issues.
