Acknowledgements

We thank all of the participants in the sessions we organised for the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers in Seattle, where many of these ideas and themes emerged. We are also thankful for Julian Agyeman's guidance and vision in helping create this special issue. Careful reads from Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern, Nathan McClintock, Katie Bradley, Ingrid Behrsin, and Nari Senanayake greatly improved the paper.

Notes

1. We note, however, that because many small-scale producers are outside of corporatised commodity chains, this is an arena for potential subversion of circumvention of the dominant food system.

2. While writing this, Galt received an email from a former student:

Four years later, I still have warm memories of the engaging, open-minded, and field-based learning environment you fostered in CRD 20 (Food Systems), and I wanted to let you know that you inspired many students to be activists in the food system.
