The Routledge Handbook of Food as a Commons explores how food systems can be understood and organized through the principles of the commons shared stewardship, collective responsibility, and community well-being. Bringing together perspectives from scholars and practitioners around the world, the handbook examines alternatives to today's dominant food system and highlights approaches rooted in food sovereignty, local governance, social innovation, and regenerative practices.
This resource is valuable for farmers, land stewards, researchers, policymakers, and community leaders interested in reimagining food systems that prioritize people, communities, and the long-term care of land. It offers both practical examples and new ways of thinking about how food can be governed as a shared resource rather than a commodity.
