“…The rise of food banks as key social actors has been noted for both high and middle-income economies (Riches and Silvasti, 2014;Caraher and Coveney, 2016). Indeed, it would appear that food banks will continue to grow in number and importance across Europe, taking into account the recent introduction of sanctions for failing to redistribute food in France and voluntary agreements in the UK (Mansuy and Ferrando, 2017). Donating surplus food to charities is an attractive option for food retailers as it is cheaper to dispose of in this way than to pay for collection and landfill taxes and charges.…”

“…Such models have increasingly served to de-politicize hunger and solidify the perception of food waste and food poverty as a single issue with a 'win-win' solution (Caraher and Furey, 2017). This narrative has worked effectively to divert attention from the causes of hunger (Caraher and Furey, 2017) and food charity recipients' lack of rights in an ad hoc secondary food system (Tarasuk and Eakin, 2003), while maintaining public support for measures to address food waste (Mansuy and Ferrando, 2017).…”

From the scientific and industrial revolution to the present day, food -an essential element of life -has been progressively transformed into a private, transnational, mono-dimensional commodity of mass consumption for a global market. But over the last decade there has been an increased recognition that this can be challenged and reconceptualized if food is regarded and enacted as a commons.This Handbook provides the first comprehensive review and synthesis of knowledge and new thinking on how food and food systems can be thought, interpreted and practiced around the old/new paradigms of commons and commoning. The overall aim is to investigate the multiple constraints that occur within and sustain the dominant food and nutrition regime and to explore how it can change when different elements of the current food systems are explored and re-imagined from a commons perspective. Chapters do not define the notion of commons but engage with different schools of thought:First published 2019 by Routledge
