Abstract
Chapter 5 reviews the case studies to decipher emerging themes, patterns, strategies and concerns that have developed within and between food resistance movements. It asks, what have food resistance movements achieved and what can be learnt from their experiences? Drawing on new social movement and transitions theories, it focuses on the food waste movement to examine trajectories of socio-environmental change over almost two decades. Food resistance movements often reach beyond awareness and behaviour change to consider pathways of formalisation, integration within planning and policy, maintenance through care and governance, failure, technological innovations and commercialisation. Opportunities for scaling ‘out’ and ‘up’ are examined through processes of diversification, hybridisation and replication. This chapter closes on possibilities for translocal movements and linkages between the Global North and South.
