Routledge Handbook ofFood as a CommonsEdited by Jose Luis Vivero-Pol, Tomaso Ferrando, Olivier De Schutter and Ugo Mattei
From the industrial revolution to the present day, food – an essential element of life - has been progressively transformed into a global mono-dimensional commodity of mass consumption. Eaters are equalled to consumers and your purchasing power determines your food access. However, this value-based narrative of commoditised food can be challenged and food can be valued and governed as a commons. This Handbook provides a synthesis of knowledge and disruptive thinking on how food and food systems can be thought, interpreted and practiced around the old/new paradigms of commons and commoning. By exploring the multiple dimensions, governing systems and case studies that render food a commons, this book helps unlocking transition pathways and policy options that have not yet been explored or enacted, thus widening the normative and practical alternatives towards fairer and more sustainable food systems to feed us within planetary boundaries.

Praise:
"If you want to understand why the commons isn't tragic, what gastronomy has to do with a democracy or what the practice and theory of a future food system might look like, this wonderful collection of essays is well worth reading." — Raj Patel, food scholar, communicator and author of Stuffed and Starved, 2013 andA History of the World in Seven Cheap Things, 2018 "The adoption of a holistic and complex vision of gastronomy is the only way to restore the true value of food. It is not only about production and consumption, but also wisdom, memory, knowledge and spirituality, traditional practices and modern technologies combined in an ecological interconnection between people and the planet. This book starts a needed and welcome reflection on the change in paradigm, and traces a possible pathway towards food sovereignty." — Carlo Petrini, founder and president of the international Slow Food movement and the University of Gastronomic Sciences, Italy
"If we are really to transform the food system, we need bold ideas. Food as commons is one of them. If you are serious about exploring new ways of fixing the food system, read this book." — Professor Corinna Hawkes, Director, Centre for Food Policy, City, University of London, UK and Co-Chair of the Independent Expert Group of the Global Nutrition Report
"Finally, a rich and rigorous assessment of food as a commons! This landmark collection of essays reveals how much we need to rethink the very language and frameworks by which we understand food and agriculture. The food we eat is not a mere commodity, it is the cherished, complicated outcome of culture, history, vernacular practice, ecological relationships, and identity. Insights on these themes can help us build new food systems that are stable, fair, and enlivening." — David Bollier, scholar and activist on the commons, author of Think Like a Commoner, 2014 and co-editor of The Wealth of the Commons, 2012
