The logistics of supply of food to military personnel operating in conflict zones is another important issue. These themes unite this collection, the chapters of which span different geographic areas. This volume will appeal to scholars in a number of different disciplines, including anthropology, nutrition, political science, development studies and international relations, as well as practitioners working in the private and public sectors, who are currently concerned with food-related issues in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The strength of this edited collection lies in the breadth of case-studies from different parts of the world.

It is sure to find its way onto many reading lists and will provide a useful resource for undergraduate and graduate teaching and research.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Food, Culture \u0026amp; Society\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The novelty of the volume lies in the breadth of perspectives from which the relationships between armed conflict, food security, poverty, politics, globalization, and culture are examined… Overall, this volume makes a unique contribution with evidence from multidisciplinary perspectives of the myriad complexities surrounding food in zones of conflict….the chapters do an excellent job of providing adequate context for the lay reader to situate the respective case studies. For this reason, the book would be an excellent choice for introductory and intermediate studies. This volume would also serve as a crucial resource for policy makers, advocates, and teachers around the world, providing evidence of the direct links between hunger, poverty, and death resulting from war.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Journal of Anthropological Research\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Tables\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eForeword\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eHugo Slim\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tPreface\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Contributors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003ePaul Collinson and Helen Macbeth\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003e‘Try to imagine, we didn’t even have salt to cook with.’: Food and War in Sierra Leone\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eSusan Shepler\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Landmines, Cluster Bombs and Food Insecurity in Africa\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBukola Adeyemi Oyeniyi and Akinyinka Akinyoade\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Special Nutritional Needs in Refugee Camps: A Cross-disciplinary Approach\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJeya Henry and Helen Macbeth\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Patterns of Household Food Consumption in Conflict Affected Households in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRebecca Kent\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eEngaging Religion in the Quest for Sustainable Food Security in Zones of Conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eLucy Kimaro\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Livestock Production in Zones of Conflict in the Northern Border of Mexico\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eDaria Deraga\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Logic of War and Wartime Meals\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eNives Rittig Beljak and Bruno Beljak\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutrition, Food Rationing and Home Production in U.K. in the Second World War\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eHelen Lightowler and Helen Macbeth\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e Beyond the Ration: Alternatives to the Ration for British Soldiers on the Western Front 1914-1918\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRachel Duffett\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustaining and Comforting the Troops in the Pacific War\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eKatarzyna J.
