Yet labor is rarely part of the discussion. In \u003ci\u003eWill Work for Food\u003c\/i\u003e, Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern and Teresa M. Mares chronicle labor across the food chain, connecting the entire food system--from fields to stores, restaurants, home kitchens, and even garbage dumps. \u003cp\u003e Using a political economy framework, the authors argue that improving labor standards and building solidarity among frontline workers across sectors is necessary for creating a more just food system. What would it take, they ask, to move toward a food system that is devoid of human exploitation? Combining insights from food systems and labor justice scholarship with actionable recommendations for policy makers, the book is a call to action for labor activists, food studies students and scholars, and anyone interested in food justice. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teresa M Mares, Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47286559604972,"sku":"9780520391604","price":158.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47286559637740,"sku":"9780520391611","price":37.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780520391604.jpg?v=1770450416","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/will-work-for-food-labor-across-the-food-chain","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
