Resilience refused. Wasted potentials for improving food security in Dhaka

Resilience refused. Wasted potentials for improving food security in Dhaka
Bangladesh ; Dhaka ; Food ; Food security ; Household ; Livelihood ; Poverty ; Resilience ; Retail trade ; Social geography ; Wholesale trade
In this article, we look at the people who made Dhaka’s food system resilient enough to avoid catastrophe. We discuss three relevant actor groups – food traders in wholesale markets, street food vendors, and poor consumers – and investigate
the roles they play in keeping the city fed, and how they act in the light of crises. Neither these actors nor their contributions to urban food security are acknowledged by the state, nor are they substantially supported. Significant potentials
for a resilient urban food system thus remain unpromoted and even blocked.

Retail restructuring and the strategic significance of food retailers' own-labels: a UK-USA comparison

Retail restructuring and the strategic significance of food retailers' own-labels: a UK-USA comparison
Comparative study ; Competition ; Consumption ; Economic strategy ; Food industry chain ; Food product ; Food trade ; Innovation ; Regulation ; Retail trade ; Supply ; United Kingdom ; United States of America
Recognizing the use of food retailers' own-labels as a particular form of competitive strategy, the A. seeks to show how such a strategy is embedded within the different retailing environments of the United Kingdom and USA. The UK food retailers
are more allowed to execute own-label strategic action. In contrast, the US retailers have been restricted to lower levels of own-label trading. Different national contexts produce different power relations.

A quiet revolution ? Beneath the surface of Ireland’s alternative food initiatives

A quiet revolution ? Beneath the surface of Ireland’s alternative food initiatives
Community ; Cooperative ; Food ; Food consumption ; Food habit ; Food trade ; Ireland ; Social change ; Social cohesion ; Social geography ; Social movement ; Value system
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.
