Dear GEP-ed Colleagues, Just spreading word on a new special issue (open access!) just published in Canadian Food Studies on the state of the global food system (TOC and links below). The aim of this project was to bring together academics and civil society folks to ponder the state of the global food system. Many of the articles touch on environmental issues, and I thought that folks on the list might find some of them interesting. The articles are short and accessible, and might be useful for teaching purposes.
Apologies for the shameless self-promotion, as I was involved as an editor of the issue :) Best, Jennifer Clapp Canadian Food Studies / La Revue canadienne des études sur l'alimentation Vol 2, No 2
