From the review: "The school food reform agenda is moving from the margins to the mainstream of the political agenda in the countries of both the Global North and the Global South. Jennifer Gaddis and Sarah Robert, the joint editors, are well-equipped to curate the transnational contributions to this excellent book because their previous publications in this field are highly regarded. Being a global survey, the book covers an enormous amount of ground, both thematic and territorial, all of which is organized around four themes: national programs, youth and worker voices, just school food economies, and tools and campaigns for systems change."

From the review: "In a world where we rely on an extremely intricate web of players to deliver food daily to our plates, Julian Baggini does not stray away from delving into the interlinking of politics, power, and choice that contribute to our transnational food systems complexities in How the World Eats. In a year when tariffs on goods and deportations of farmworkers are being put into action by the current Trump administration, reading this book will be crucial to understanding how people interact with each other when it comes to food and why it matters so much. How the World Eats is highly relevant and necessary to read in 2025. Baggini brings a philosophical background to exploring our global food system— one that is crucial to understanding how and why decisions are made and how we choose to feed ourselves as human beings."

JAFSCD PARTNER & SHAREHOLDER NEWS |
|
|
Teams at the University of Vermont (a JAFSCD Partner) and Michigan State University (a JAFSCD Shareholder) partnered with the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service on a project to expand knowledge about food hubs, especially the roles of food hub operators and the progression of their work from start-up to established operations.
The hats these operators wear are invaluable to the ecosystem of local and regional food systems. The project's stories and resources can help motivate, reinforce, and inspire operators and other local purchasing players. Check out Many Hats: A Food Hub Operator’s Toolkit and The Food Hub Podcast.
