Social Innovation and Sustainability Transition
This book uses a historical and modern lens to reimagine the role that Extension could potentially play in catalyzing reciprocal, co-learning relationships between Land-Grant Universities and their diverse local constituencies. The establishment of statewide extension systems was once seen as a way to ensure that Land-Grant Universities would be accessible and responsive to all of a state’s residents. Extension systems continue to offer a front-door to a major public university in almost every county of the United States, but they tend to be viewed primarily as a way to translate science or distribute information from the university to the public. This books argues for the importance of Ex...
Incorporating Sustainability into Procurement Decision Making for Food Supply Chains
Bridging the divide between traditional supply chain theory, language, and practices and the urgent need to incorporate sustainability into supply chain decision-making, Incorporating Sustainability into Procurement Decision Making for Food Supply Chains offers a novel approach to understanding modern food systems and how to use procurement to improve them. While existing literature often treats supply chain management and sustainable food systems as separate domains, this resource uniquely integrates these evolving fields. It directly addresses the challenges faced by supply chain teams, who increasingly need to collaborate to forge resilient and ethical food supply chains. Drawing on real-...

The Labor of Lunch
There’s a problem with school lunch in America. Big Food companies have largely replaced the nation’s school cooks by supplying cafeterias with cheap, precooked hamburger patties and chicken nuggets chock-full of industrial fillers. Yet it’s no secret that meals cooked from scratch with nutritious, locally sourced ingredients are better for children, workers, and the environment. So why not empower “lunch ladies” to do more than just unbox and reheat factory-made food? And why not organize together to make healthy, ethically sourced, free school lunches a reality for all children? The Labor of Lunch aims to spark a progressive movement that will transform food in American schools, ...
The Meth Lunches
James Beard Award–winning author Kim Foster reveals a new portrait of hunger and humanity in America. Food is a conduit for connection; we envision smiling families gathered around a table—eating, happy, content. But what happens when poverty, mental illness, homelessness, and addiction claim a seat at that table? In The Meth Lunches, Kim Foster peers behind the polished visions of perfectly curated dinners and charming families to reveal the complex reality when poverty and food intersect. Whether it’s heirloom vegetables or a block of neon-yellow government cheese, food is both a basic necessity and a nuanced litmus test: what and how we eat reflects our communities, our cultures, an...
