Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The book critically examines consumer advice urging Chinese citizens to change their food consumption habits and explores what it means to eat green in a country facing ecological risks, food safety concerns and an authoritariangovernment aiming to create an ecöcivilization.Uncovering the political agendas behind this push for consumer responsibility, this book analyses a range of topics such as food waste and alternative food networks, showing how China's environmental authoritarianism mobilizes consumers to adopt greener food practices while restricting civil society¿driven approaches to sustainability that do not align with the state's vision of ecöcivilization.Green Eating and Ecological Risk in China is essential reading for advanced students and researchers of Chinese society and politics, environmental sociology and political science, as well as others interested in environmental governance and the greening of consumption and lifestyles under authoritarianism.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial (CC BY-NC) 4.0 International license.
