Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

This book examines a diverse range of community food initiatives in light of their everyday practices innovations and contestations. While community food initiatives aim to tackle issues like food security food waste or food poverty it is a cause for concern for many when they are framed as the next big solution to the problems of the current industrialised food system. They have been critiqued for being too neoliberal elitist and localist; for not challenging structural inequalities (e. g. racism privilege exclusion colonialism capitalism); and for reproducing these inequalities within their own contexts. This edited volume examines the everyday realities of community food initiatives focusing on both their hopes and their troubles their limitations and failures but also their best intentions missions and models alongside their capacity to create hope in difficult times. The stories presented in this book are grounded in contemporary theoretical debates on neoliberalism diverse economies food justice community and inclusion and social innovation and help to sharpen these as conceptual tools for interrogating community food initiatives as sites of both hope and trouble. The novelty of this volume is its focus on the everyday doings of these initiatives in particular places and contexts with different constraints and opportunities. This grounded relational and place-based approach allows us to move beyond more traditional framings in which community food initiatives are either applauded for their potential or criticized for their limitations. It enables researchers and practitioners to explore how community food initiatives can realize their potential for creating alternative food futures and generates innovative pathways for theorising the mutual interplay of food production and consumption. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of critical food studies food security public health and nutrition as well as human geographers sociologists and anthropologists with an interest in food. | Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema Screening Composite Spaces

Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema Screening Composite Spaces

Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema examines how contemporary cinema has represented and engaged with the experience of simultaneously inhabiting digital and material spaces (i. e. composite spaces) in the context of the growing ubiquitousness of digital media and culture. Bringing together a range of key cinematic texts the book examines how these films represent composite space by depicting—often subtly and without explicit reference to technology—what it feels like to live in a world of ubiquitous digital media. The book explores composite spaces through the striking use of elements like colour symbolic graphics and music and covers topics like: music as mediator between levels of experience/perception in visionary films such as Sucker Punch (2011) and Spring Breakers (2012); digital colour as an interface in films including Under the Skin (2013); the integration of digital graphical elements drawn from game spaces into material spaces in films such as Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) and Nerve (2016); and films that take place on a computer screen including 2020’s widely discussed Zoom-produced pandemic horror film Host. Through the close analysis of these films the book offers fresh perspectives on conceptual issues of embodiment digital agency and subjectivity. This book is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduates postgraduates and scholars in the fields of film studies digital aesthetics and film theory digital culture and digital media. | Digital Space and Embodiment in Contemporary Cinema Screening Composite Spaces

Why Nations Fail to Feed the Poor The Politics of Food Security in Bangladesh

Why Nations Fail to Feed the Poor The Politics of Food Security in Bangladesh

This book examines the political and economic dimensions of food security in Bangladesh and assesses the role of the state in meeting the challenges of food security. The key concern which is at the heart of this study is to explore how Bangladesh responds when its people go hungry. There are no detailed empirical studies that examine the Bangladesh’s role by providing an historical cum political analysis; however conventional approaches are primarily concerned with a partial diagnosis of the economic or nutritional problems of food security. The book then provides a detailed picture of the missing dimensions of state that include the strength of institutions the scope of state functions and other important attributes. In doing so it uses the concept of neo-patrimonialism to explore the political system of Bangladesh. This book explicates the various impediments to food security ranging from the process of policy formulation to their implementation mechanisms. It unpacks the structural weaknesses of the Bangladesh's institutional capacity in promoting food security and in the process argues that the root cause of food insecurity is deeply embedded in the nature of the government itself and the political institutions that link the state and society. | Why Nations Fail to Feed the Poor The Politics of Food Security in Bangladesh

Art Farming and Food for the Future Transforming Agriculture

Art Farming and Food for the Future Transforming Agriculture

This book explores the impact of artistic experiments in inspiring people to turn away from current food consumerism and take an active role in preserving sustaining and protecting the environment. As artists are expanding their practice into social justice and community concerns erasing traditional forms of expression and integrating others the culture around food and its production has been added to a new vocabulary of experiential art. The authors measure the impact of such experiments on local food consumption and production focusing on education and youth both in the surrounding community and culture at large. They suggest how these projects can be up-scaled to further encourage sustainable solutions for our environment and communities. The book explores the reflections and motivations of case study practitioners in urban and rural areas and through interviews engages with artists who are pioneering a new trend to create hubs of activity away from traditional art spaces in cities to follow a non-hierarchal practice that is de-centralized and communally based. This book will be of great interest to academic readers concerned with issues related to environmental aesthetics eco-design eco-criticism culture heritage memory and identity and those interested in the current debates on the place of aesthetics and culture in sustainability. | Art Farming and Food for the Future Transforming Agriculture

School Food Politics in Mexico The Corporatization of Obesity and Healthy Eating Policies

School Food Politics in Mexico The Corporatization of Obesity and Healthy Eating Policies

Intertwining policy analysis and ethnography José Tenorio examines how and why now the promotion of healthy lifestyles has been positioned as an ideal ‘solution’ to obesity and how this shapes the preparation sale and consumption of food in schools in Mexico. This book situates obesity as a structural problem enabled by market-driven policy change problematizing the focus on individual behavior change which underpins current obesity policy. It argues that the idea of healthy lifestyles draws attention away from the economic and political roots of obesity shifting blame onto an ‘uneducated’ population. Deploying Foucault’s concept of dispositif Tenorio argues that healthy lifestyles functions as an ensemble of mechanisms to deploy representations of reality spaces institutions and subjectivities aligned with market principles constructing individuals both as culprits for what they eat and the prime locus of policy intervention to change diets. He demonstrates how this ensemble enmeshes within the local cultural and economic conditions surrounding the provisioning of food in Mexican schools and how it is contested in the practices around cooking. Expanding the conversation on the politics of food in schools obesity policy and dominant perspectives on the relation between food and health this book is a must-read for scholars of food and nutrition public health and education as well as those with an interest in development studies and policy enactment and outcomes. | School Food Politics in Mexico The Corporatization of Obesity and Healthy Eating Policies

Urban Expansion and Food Security in New Zealand The Collapse of Local Horticulture

Urban Expansion and Food Security in New Zealand The Collapse of Local Horticulture

This book examines suburban development in New Zealand and its conflict with and impact on local horticulture and food security. Drawing on an ethnographic study of Auckland’s rapidly expanding urban periphery combined with comparative case studies from California in the USA and Victoria in Australia the book examines how the profit-making strategies of property developers and landowners drastically reshapes work and life at the edge of cities. With a significant portion of the world's croplands lying adjacent to cities the accelerating pace of urban sprawl across the planet places unprecedented pressure on the productivity and even existence of these vital food bowl regions. The book examines how the demand for more land for development at the urban periphery collides with concerns over local food security and the protection of ecosystem services. It analyses land use policy historical records and physical patterns of development alongside participant observation of local events. It combines this with interviews with government officials property developers landowners local residents and horticulturists. By combining these narratives of the hectic and lucrative business of suburban property development with the collapse of local horticulture this book shows how the realignment of the New Zealand's interests of financial profitability over other concerns led to the transformation of urban peripheries from a productive food bowl to an investment vehicle. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of urban food and agriculture urban planning and development and rural-urban studies. | Urban Expansion and Food Security in New Zealand The Collapse of Local Horticulture

The Food Revolution In The Soviet Union And Eastern Europe

The Food Revolution In The Soviet Union And Eastern Europe

The first study in the Western world to compare the relationship between food and politics in the countries of Eastern Europe this book views the current food revolution as part of the modernization process. Robert Deutsch argues that the communist leaders in the Comecon countries increasingly link political stability and preservation of power to the problem of satisfying consumer demand. He also assesses the various social forces that have brought about the food revolution. The most important is the expanded working class which is no longer willing to defer consumer demands to a hypothetical communist future. The CMEA countries thus face the dilemma of either gradually liberalizing their economies in order to meet growing consumer demands or resorting to repression. Neither of these options promises a long-term solution for implementing economic policies prescribed by Marxist-Leninist doctrine. Robert Deutsch presents case studies of Hungary Bulgaria and the German Democratic Republic as examples of the relative success of economic reforms. To a greater or lesser extent these countries have opted for economic decentralization by liberalizing private ownership and pricing policy and by integrating planning with market-oriented concepts. The author compares this with the economic problems of the Soviet Union Poland Romania and Czechoslovakia. The study is enhanced by an exhaustive bibliography arranged topically and drawn from the specialized literature in several languages. | The Food Revolution In The Soviet Union And Eastern Europe

Food Policy and Practice in Early Childhood Education and Care Children Practitioners and Parents in an English Nursery

Food Policy and Practice in Early Childhood Education and Care Children Practitioners and Parents in an English Nursery

This book is about food and feeding in early childhood education and care offering an exploration of the intersection of children’s food education family intervention and public health policies. The notion of ‘good’ food for children is often communicated as a matter of common sense by policymakers and public health authorities; yet the social material and practical aspects of feeding children are far from straightforward. Drawing on a detailed ethnographic study conducted in a London nursery and children’s centre this book provides a close examination of the practices of childcare practitioners children and parents asking how the universalism of policy and bureaucracy fits with the particularism of feeding and eating in the early years. Looking at the unintended consequences that emerged in the field such as contradictory public health messaging and arbitrary policy interventions the book reveals the harmful assumptions about disadvantaged groups that are perpetuated in policy discourse and challenges the constructs of individual choice and responsibility as main determinants of health. Children’s food practices at the nursery are examined to explore the notion that whilst for adults it is what children eat that often matters most to children it is how they eat that is more important. This book contributes to a growing body of literature evidencing how children’s food is a contested domain in which power relations are continuously negotiated. This raises questions not only on how children can be included in policy beyond a tokenistic involvement but also on what children’s well-being might mean beyond the biomedical sphere. The book will particularly appeal to students and scholars in food and health food policy childhood studies and medical anthropology. Policymakers and non-governmental bodies working in the domains of children’s food and early years policies will also find this book of interest. | Food Policy and Practice in Early Childhood Education and Care Children Practitioners and Parents in an English Nursery

Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

This book offers a study of what and how people ate in the Iberian Peninsula between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. It has long been recognized that Mediterranean cultures attach great importance to communal meals and food cooked with great refinement. However whilst medieval feasting in England France and Italy has been thoroughly studied Spain and Portugal have both been somewhat neglected in this area of study. This volume analyses how medieval men of the Iberian Peninsula questioned themselves about different aspects deemed important in social feasting. It investigates the acquisition of table manners and rhetorical skills the interaction between medicine and eating and the presence of food in literature and religion. The book also shows how this shared society and culture as well as their attitude towards food connected them to a Western European tradition. The book will appeal to scholars and students alike interested in food and feasting from the perspectives of literature history language art religion and medicine and to those interested in a social cultural and literary overview of life in the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages. | Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Capacity-Building and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Rethinking Integration in the Asia-Pacific

Capacity-Building and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Rethinking Integration in the Asia-Pacific

Critically analysing methodologies and objectives of capacity building and the practical linkages required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals this book looks at whether nexus thinking offers a systematic approach to combat global environmental problems and facilitate enhanced sustainable development. Building effective and sustainable mechanisms to tackle environmental problems requires in-depth understanding of relationships between natural resources going beyond conventional policy and siloed decision making. The water energy food nexus has been promoted as a conceptual framework and management tool to facilitate integrated planning and practical linkages to support sustainable development. The author opens this book with an overview of capacity building and reviews the significance of the water energy food nexus bringing in links to the 2030 Agenda. Climate change is highlighted as a key consideration in any conversation about natural resource use and case studies from Japan India and China are utilised to show that whist long-term sustainable development practices are being implemented the environmental challenges across the region raise concerns about institutional capacity economic sustainability and future of the region. Finally through the lens of capacity building the book suggests that whilst the water energy food nexus may provide a new approach to sustainable development it will not be enough to achieve long-term sustainability or extend to the lives of those most affected. The book will be interest to scholars and students within the water energy and agriculture sectors sustainability governance and sustainable development. It will also be a valuable resource to those working in governmental organisations and NGOs involved in capacity building and development. | Capacity-Building and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Rethinking Integration in the Asia-Pacific

Courts Pluralism and Law in the Everyday Food Clothing and Days of Rest

Courts Pluralism and Law in the Everyday Food Clothing and Days of Rest

This book examines the everyday judicial experience in four multicultural jurisdictions as a means of exploring the relationship between legal systems and cultural identities. Increasing social heterogeneity has deeply affected legal systems as courts and parliaments must now deal with a growing rate of cases concerning cultural pluralism. Headline-grabbing disputes usually concern challenges to fundamental rights and principles which may be put at risk by some religious or cultural practices. These are difficult issues questioning the compatibility between some cultural and religious practices and constitutional values. However much of the interaction between law and cultural pluralism also concerns daily life activities which do not necessarily challenge fundamental rights. This book deals with food clothing and days of rest: three expressions of both human needs and identity which are based on ethnic origin tradition culture religion or simply taste. The volume looks at the intersection between these choices and constitutional rights such as religious liberty or freedom of expression. It aims to understand how the state legal system deals with them and when non-mainstreaming behaviours are accommodated. Four legal systems are taken into consideration – the United States of America Canada France and Italy – exploring similarities and differences in facing cultural diversity around these quotidian issues. The book pays particular attention to the places where diversity is most apparent and also considers the choices that are not based on religious precepts but rather on “personal philosophy”. The book will be of interest to researchers academics and policy-makers working in the areas of constitutional law law and cultural diversity human rights minority rights and discrimination law. | Courts Pluralism and Law in the Everyday Food Clothing and Days of Rest

Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

'Gyorgy Scrinis exposes the folly of the reductionist approach and proposes an alternative food quality paradigm based on respecting traditional dietary patterns and reducing technological processing. It may offend nutritionists and will upset the food industry but it could also herald a delicious revolution in our ability to eat well. ' - Dr Rosemary Stanton OAM NutritionistFrom the fear of 'bad nutrients' such as fat and cholesterol to the celebration of supposedly health-enhancing vitamins and omega-3 fats our understanding of food and health has been dominated by a reductive scientific focus on nutrients. It is on this basis that butter and eggs have been vilified yet highly processed foods such as margarine have been promoted as being healthier than whole foods. Gyorgy Scrinis argues that this ideology of nutritionism has narrowed and distorted our appreciation of food quality while promoting nutrition confusion and nutritional anxieties. The food industry exploits these anxieties by nutritionally modifying their food products and marketing them with nutritional and health claims. Through a fascinating investigation into such issues as the butter versus margarine debate the battle between low-fat low-carb low-calorie and low-GI weight-loss diets the limitations of dietary guidelines and the search for the optimal dietary pattern - from Mediterranean and vegetarian to paleo diets - Scrinis builds a revealing history of the scientific social and economic factors driving our modern fascination with nutrition and explores alternative ways of understanding food quality. | Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice
