They have been critiqued for being too neoliberal, elitist, and localist; for not challenging structural inequalities (e.g. racism, privilege, exclusion, colonialism, capitalism); and for reproducing these inequalities within their own contexts. This edited volume examines the everyday realities of community food initiatives, focusing on both their hopes and their troubles, their limitations and failures, but also their best intentions, missions, and models, alongside their capacity to create hope in difficult times. The stories presented in this book are grounded in contemporary theoretical debate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Now, more than ever, we need to recognise and support just and sustainable community food initiatives. This book brings important issues of maintaining hope while staying with the trouble of enacting community food initiatives in a fair and just manner. It opens up our attention to matters of justice around food including as well as beyond procedural and distributional issues to essential matters of reparation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnna R.

This wide-ranging and comprehensively edited volume offers a variety of case studies that demonstrate the transformative work that community food initiatives envision and enact without shying away from acknowledging the ways that racial capitalism, hetero-patriarchy and neoliberalism constrain their approaches. This book reminds us that community food initiatives have much to offer as we combat the intersecting and inextricable social, environmental, and public health crises that shape this precarious moment.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlison Hope Alkon\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Sociology, University of the Pacific\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
