Abstract
This chapter investigates food activism and explores the rise of ethical food
consumption. It explores the global transformative process that food activism
entails. This is achieved through activist organizations that implement initiatives
with their beneficiaries, and at the same time by developing platforms through
which to engage consumers and prompt, coordinate, and direct their purchase
choices in order to attract resources to support the beneficiaries. The analysis of
food activism generally focuses only on activist organizations and their effect on
the beneficiaries, but this chapter argues that we must expand the focus of the
analysis to the relationship with consumers, and their role in supporting the global
change envisioned by the activist organization
