Book
Grocery story : the promise of food co-ops in the age of grocery giants / Jon Steinman.
Through penetrating analysis and inspiring stories and examples of North American food co-ops, this book makes a compelling case for the transformation of the grocery store aisles as the emerging frontier in the local and good food movements. Jon Steinman deconstructs the food retail sector and the shadows cast by corporate giants, makes the case for food co-ops as an alternative, and shows how co-ops spur the creation of local food-based economies and enhance low-income food access.
