Food System Sustainability - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Food System Sustainability - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

As western-style food systems extend further around the world, food sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue. Such systems are not sustainable in terms of their consumption of resources, their impact on ecosystems or their effect on health and social inequality. From 2009 to 2011, the duALIne project, led by INRA and CIRAD, assembled a team of experts to investigate food systems downstream of the farm, from the farm gate, to consumption and the disposal of waste. Representing a diverse range of backgrounds spanning academia and the public and private sectors, the project aimed to review the international literature and identify major gaps in our knowledge. This book brings together its key conclusions and insights, presenting state-of-the-art research in food sustainability and identifying priority areas for further study. It will provide a valuable resource for researchers, decision-makers and stakeholders in the food industry.

Food and Identity in Early Rabbinic Judaism - Jordan D. Rosenblum - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Food and Identity in Early Rabbinic Judaism - Jordan D. Rosenblum - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Food often defines societies and even civilizations. Through particular commensality restrictions, groups form distinct identities: those with whom ''we'' eat (''us'') and those with whom ''we'' cannot eat (''them''). This identity is enacted daily, turning the biological need to eat into a culturally significant activity. In this book, Jordan D. Rosenblum explores how food regulations and practices helped to construct the identity of early rabbinic Judaism. Bringing together the scholarship of rabbinics with that of food studies, this volume first examines the historical reality of food production and consumption in Roman-era Palestine. It then explores how early rabbinic food regulations created a distinct Jewish, male, and rabbinic identity. Rosenblum''s work demonstrates how rabbinic food practices constructed an edible identity.

Seeking the Right to Food - Bright Nkrumah - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Seeking the Right to Food - Bright Nkrumah - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Despite a constitutional right to food, a comprehensive social security structure, being a net exporter of agricultural products and maintaining a rising GDP, freedom from hunger remains a pipedream for millions of South Africans. With a constant surge in food prices, the availability of sustenance is often seriously threatened for all of South Africa''s population. While the underprivileged majority residing in townships often demonstrate their discontent for poor service delivery on the streets, they rarely channel this strategy into taming food inflation. This study seeks to understand this irony and examine ways in which this trend could be reversed. Proposing a compelling argument for food activism, Bright Nkrumah suggests ways of mobilising disempowered groups to reclaim this inherent right. Presented alongside historical and contemporary case studies to illustrate the dynamics of collective action and food security in South Africa, he draws from legal, social and political theory to make the case for ''activism'' as a force for alleviating food insecurity.
