Food as mediator: Opening the dialogue around food

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to shift attention away from the specific examples used to illustrate food utopias in this book and invite you to reengage with food as you experience it from the perspective of utopian thinking. It is, in other words, a call to arms (albeit without the metaphorical violence) to everyone who believes that how we eat and how we produce and supply that food is of utmost importance to human existence
