Abstract
"When we purchase fruit in a supermarket, order take-out or sit down to a meal in a local restaurant, we become the end-consumers of a global production and distribution process that depends heavily on women's labour. How are these women faring? What constructive alternatives can we use to feed our world in a more humane and sustainable way? This collection of original research takes a provocative look at how NAFTA is affecting the food system and its women workers. Book jacket."--Jacket.
