Reviews

Food Systems in an Unequal World forms a part of and provides an important critical moment within a new wave of scholarship that speaks to the rise of quality-defined national and international markets. - Tad Mutersbaugh, University of Kentucky One of the major contributions of Food Systems in an Unequal World is the concept of regulatory risk and how that is translated to farmers. Filtering the regulatory risk to the field is good geography and laudable. - Brad Jokisch, Ohio University Diving into the large technical variability in pesticides may lead to tedious reading, but Galt succeeds extraordinarily well in introducing the reader to the material complexity of the issue, by explaining the technical aspects bit by bit without distracting the reader from the larger story. - The AAG Review of Books Offers an important contribution to the political ecology approach as it shifts political ecology's predominant focus on subsistence agriculture to a more industrialized agriculture practiced by small-scale family farmers. - Economic Geography


Offers an important contribution to the political ecology approach as it shifts political ecology s predominant focus on subsistence agriculture to a more industrialized agriculture practiced by small-scale family farmers. <i>Economic Geography </i>
