This book develops "organizing eating" as an organizational communication-centered framework for understanding how communication and power combine to actively shape eating and working in the U.S. food system.

Drawing together established scholars, the book sheds light on how the interconnected aspects of power are communicative in nature, shaping and constraining the possibilities for organizing across the food system. Chapters provide grounded insight into the role of racism, corporate and state power, food co-operatives, urban farm systems, food policy, and labor practices, drawing attention to the pathways needed to pursue more equitable food systems. Providing readers with a set of useful critical conceptual tools and an understanding of communication frameworks, the book identifies common principles for critical organizing within the food movement and addresses the relevance of the Covid-19 pandemic and the national uprising against anti-Black violence for understanding the urgent possibilities of food justice.

This cohesive collection of cutting-edge scholarship will be of interest to organizational communication scholars, environmental scholars, and health communication scholars, as well as those working in the areas of environmental communication, health communication, cultural studies, and the interdisciplinary fields of agriculture, food studies, and organization and labor studies.
