Review of Serving the public: The Good Food Revolution in Schools, Hospitals and Prisons

This book explores the good food revolution in public institutions: schools, hospitals and prisons. Noting that the provision of food in these institutions is an index of the public duty of care, the author puts forward ideas and provides examples of institutions that are harnessing the power of purchase to not only overcome the damage caused by the neoliberal narrow-mindedness of ‘value for money’ but also contribute to a fairer, healthier and more sustainable food system.

Abstract

This book explores the good food revolution in public institutions: schools, hospitals and prisons. Noting that the provision of food in these institutions is an index of the public duty of care, the author puts forward ideas and provides examples of institutions that are harnessing the power of purchase to not only overcome the damage caused by the neoliberal narrow-mindedness of ‘value for money’ but also contribute to a fairer, healthier and more sustainable food system.
