Reconnecting so-called alternative food geographies back to the mainstream food system – especially in light of the discursive and material  »transgressions » currently happening between alternative and conventional food networks, this volume critically interrogates and evaluates what stands for  »food politics » in these spaces of transgression now and in the near future and addresses questions such as: What constitutes  »alternative » food politics specifically and food politics more generally when organic and other  »quality » foods have become mainstreamed? What has been the contribution so far of an  »alternative food movement » and its potential to leverage further progressive change and/or make further inroads into conventional systems? What are the empirical and theoretical bases for understanding the established and growing  »transgressions » between conventional and alternative food networks? Offering a better understanding of the evolving position of the corporate food system vis a vis alternative food networks, this book considers the prospects for economic, social, cultural and material transformations led by an increasingly powerful and legitimated alternative food network.
