ABSTRACT

This chapter considers how the local food movement has set a table with what appears to be delicious alternatives to the products of the industrial food system, but has also clearly laid out the food revolution with consumerism in mind. In conversation with individuals leading the creation of food systems’ alternatives, it demonstrates how systemic problems are beginning to reveal the limitations of basing change on a recipe sourced from the capitalist power cookbook. The chapter also points to unnoticed spaces which display a more radical politics for a food revolution, based on horizontal cooperation.
