Dr. Giulia Bazzan, Assistant Professor of Public Governance, Tilburg University / Tilburg Law School / Department of Public Law and Governance, Netherlands. "As a must-read for food policy scholars, it challenges them to rethink prevailing models of policy diffusion and institutional resilience by showing how everyday practices of coordination and improvisation are critical to local food security." ? Carsten Daugbjerg, Professor, Department of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhage This book examines the governance of food security policy in Europe amid political crises and turbulence. Focusing on detailed case studies of the Fund for European Aid, food aid programs implemented across Italian cities during the Covid-19 pandemic, and initiatives in the metropolitan areas of Milan and Warsaw, it assesses the ways in which frontline workers have sought to reshape public policy to address urgent community needs. In doing so, the book draws attention to various collaborative learning mechanisms between street-level bureaucrats and third-sector organizations in food-assistance delivery, and the ways in which collaboration is constrained by institutional features that hinder its institutionalization in specific contexts. It also highlights the importance of trust and learning, both in delivering more resilient food security strategies, and in multilevel governance more generally. The book will appeal to all those interested in public policy, governance, and European politics.
