This white paper, funded by Our Land and Water (one of 11 National Science Challenges run by the New Zealand government) and the NEXT Foundation, explores what regenerative agriculture means in the context of New Zealand and identifies 17 topics where more research is required. It acknowledges the alignment between regenerative agriculture and Māori food practices and knowledge.

This book argues that transitioning from today’s industrial food system towards a more sustainable system requires cultural shifts. The author draws inspiration from themes in the Homeric epics to propose a new environmental governance model based on “eco‐states responsible for agroecological management”.

This book, published February 2021, uses case studies from across the globe to discuss the future of food. Chapters cover food and place identities, politics of agricultural production, food trade, hunger and malnutrition, food insecurity in rich countries, and future scenarios for sustainable food and farming.

This book, co-authored by Table member Colin Sage, uses case studies to investigate how local food movements, enterprises and networks can contribute to the transition towards a sustainable food system. Chapter 1 is available for free download, and Chapters 3, 7 and 8 will also become available for download shortly.

This report by the Cornell Atkinson Centre for Sustainability and Nature Sustainability examines the technological scope for moving to food systems that are healthy, equitable, resilient and sustainable. It finds that successfully scaling up promising technologies depends on specific “biophysical, political, socio-economic, and cultural contexts”, and therefore proposes creating “socio-technical innovation bundles” that are customised to the relevant context.

This paper argues that the threats to humanity and the biosphere from environmental damage is much greater than is usually acknowledged, and that current political and economic solutions do not match the scale of the danger. The authors call for scientists to speak “candidly and accurately” to policymakers, businesses and the public about the risks to our future.

This book takes a broad, interdisciplinary look at current research on the food system, covering topics such as eating in restaurants, food poverty, school meals, public perceptions of the food system, and community food initiatives.

This book by Bram Büscher explores how environmentalists are using the internet and social media platforms to spread their messages, and considers the power dynamics that are at play in the era of “post-truth politics”.

The journal Human Geography has released a special issue on “radical food geography praxis”. It is based on a workshop held in conjunction with the 2019 American Association of Geographers’ (AAG) Annual Meeting.
