N2  - "This book offers the first framing of potential social science approaches to the compelling and yet hugely under-researched topic of food waste. Shows how the profile of waste has suddenly increased as a topic of sociological relevance and extends these developments to analyses of foodConceptualises waste as a dynamic category and one that plays an important role in processes of cultural and economic organisationBrings together theoretical and empirical contributions from a range of disciplinary perspectivesEngages with food waste in a number of contexts and at a variety of scalesExplores issues such as the regulation and governance of food systems; the materiality of foodstuffs and associated technologies; the dynamics of social practices and what goes on in domestic kitchens; the ways in which food and waste are circulated in societies; dumpster diving and freeganism, and socio-technical innovations for waste reductionDemonstrates how food waste is a useful lens through which to tend to a number of contemporary issues within sociology and social theory"--Publisher description
