This book brings together scholars from anthropology, sociology, environmental studies, tourism, architecture and development studies to provide a comprehensive examination of food consumption trends in the cities of Asia and the Pacific, including household food consumption, eating out and food waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters cover different scales of analysis, from household research to national data, and combine different methodologies and approaches, from quantifiable data that show how much people consume to qualitative findings that reveal how and why consumption takes place in urban settings. Detailed case studies are included from China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea and Vietnam, as well as Hawai'i and Australia. The book makes a timely contribution to current debates on the challenges and opportunities for socially just and environmentally sound food consumption in urbanizing Asia and the Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http: \/\/www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 3.0 license. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarlyne Sahakian\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Researcher in the Faculty of Geosciences and the Environment at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCzarina Saloma\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Sociology at Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines, and recent Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Fellow at Bielefeld University, Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuren Erkman\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Geosciences and the Environment at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, where he manages the Industrial Ecology Group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 08, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751715504416,"sku":"9780367029746","price":106.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/bcca1f814254e732879b520606471482.webp?v=1779978481","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/food-consumption-in-the-city-practices-and-patterns-in-urban-asia-and-the-pacific-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
