Consumerism, unsustainable growth, waste, and inequalities continue to ail societies across the globe, but creative collectives have been tackling these issues at a grassroots level.

Based on an autoethnographic study about a free food store in Aotearoa New Zealand, Organizing Food, Faith and Freedom presents a first-hand account of how a community is organised around surplus food to deal with food poverty, while also helping the reader to see through the complexity that brings the free food store to life.

Examining how alternative economies and relations emerge from these community solutions, the author shows it is possible to think, act, and organise differently within and beyond capitalist dynamics.
