During the past two decades, there has been a growing interest in the area of food systems research that has paralleled the development of domestic and international community food movements. The focus for such research and social-movement development has included issues of the environment, technology changes, global shifts in production and distribution, health and nutrition, the rise of fast food, and urban food access and rural economic development, among other topics.
