In the end, food matters, rural communities matter, and sustainable place-making matters. Only someone with Marsden's erudition and conceptual reach can pull these vital spheres of life together into a vibrant and coherent whole. * Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development *
Terry Marsden is a prolific leader in the field of agro-systems, food and space. This book offers useful stimulus to tired debates about neo-liberalism, a summary of debates andpolitical developments, a review of existing literature, some case studies deriving from original research, and an innovative theoretical framework. * Alan Warde, Professor of Sociology, Manchester University, UK *
This is an interesting and timely book that covers a topic of considerable public interest: the political economy of the agrifood industry and its implications for rural development. It will be of interest to researchers and students of Food Studies. * Peter Jackson, Professor of Human Geography, University of Sheffield, UK *
