What did you have for breakfast? Did you ever stop to think about the people and steps involved with how your banana or cereal got on your plate? Nearly everyone is a part of the global food system, yet few people are aware of how it operates. Kimberly A. Weir starts by evaluating how we are connected with spice farmers, cocoa bean growers, soybean producers, tomato pickers, and tuna fishers not only gives insight into where we fit in the global food chain, but also offers a unique way to understand the aspects and concepts of the global political economy. The book begins by figuring out where readers fit in the global food chain, looking at what affects eating habits and choices, and situating these factors in a global context. From Jicama to Jackfruit provides that insight in abundance.
Kimberly A. Weir is Associate Professor of Political Science at Northern Kentucky University. She has taught widely on the subjects in this book, and cooks with her students as she teaches. She has written on a variety of issues in political economy and pedagogy including 'Teaching about the Global Political Economy' (with Vicki Golich) in the International Studies Association Compendium.
