Transnational Food Security addresses food security from an international relations, political economy and legal perspective analysing the relationship between food security and the environment and climate change, trade, finance and contracts, and the intersection between food and human rights. 'A timely and thoughtful collection. Empirically rich and theoretically grounded, this book sheds light on the relations between transnational legal theory, the environment, human rights, trade, and the financialisation of food. An illuminating read for those working towards a more just, sustainable and food secure world.' - Jessica Duncan, Assistant Professor, Rural Sociology Group, Wageningen University 'Actors in the food sovereignty movement contest the food system at the levels of power relations and models of production. Taking its cue from these campaigns, this volume shines a valuable spotlight on the complex and often opaque relationships between legal regimes at different scales, and the diverse actors who are embedded within and seek to shape (and sometimes exploit) them. Occasionally bold, and sometimes provocative, it is an important and possibly even essential read for anyone concerned with the direction of travel of our contemporary food system, and the role of law therein.' - Joshua Brem-Wilson, Assistant Professor, Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience, Coventry University? 'Global food rights and norms such as food security and food sovereignty are increasingly being considered by nations and international organizations in the forming of national and local food laws and policies. This book is an important step towards evaluating these norms from a variety of perspectives. I applaud the effort and have no doubt that this contribution will serve as a valuable cornerstone for future study by scholars in the field.' -Michael Roberts, Executive Director, Resnick Center for Food Law and Policy, UCLA School of Law
