Abstract
This book explores food accessibility and its relationship to food security in communities representing high populations of college and university students. Each chapter offers readers a vivid and multifaceted perspective on food practices' cultural and social complexities and the current food system. Using insights from the multidisciplinary fields of food studies, educational leadership, and human geography, this book engages the global paradoxes of food. Food is individual and community-based, and students participating in school activities and extracurriculars must often choose between affording books or food. Each chapter begins with a case study and ends with suggested resources and activities. Chapter topics include academic success, identity and belonging, groceries, food media, public health, marketing, surplus and scarcity, and social impact. The book further blends concepts and empirical accounts to address the central issues of culture, structure, and accessibility within and among the food retail environment.
