It is not always evident how race matters to the study of food. The paper proposes how theories of race are being used in the literature. Most literature implicitly relies on the social construction of race to consider representations
and performances of race in contexts of eating or producing food. Explicit engagement with the concept of race and its theoretical foundations is important because it allows scholars to make arguments about how racism shapes food systems, to understand how race
changes through food, and to consider how food might enable different theorizations of race.

Alternative food initiatives which are commonly found in Ireland include allotments, community gardens, farmers' markets, farm shops and on-farm food enterprises. Understanding alternative food activities as a social movement can illuminate a fresh
perspective on their nature and potential. While briefly considering the broad dynamics of alternative food activity in Ireland, this exploratory paper looks at the question of the nature of resistance and whether a collective vision may exist across
initiatives, illustrated by two examples, a community garden and consumer food co-op. Finally some conclusions as to how alternative food initiatives may play a transformative role within the contemporary food system are discussed.
