Illustrated with a range of empirical studies this edited and interdisciplinary volume - the first book on food pedagogies - develops innovative and theoretical perspectives to problematize the practices of teaching and learning about food. While many different pedagogues - policy makers churches activists health educators schools tourist agencies chefs - think we do not know enough about food and what to do with it the aims effects and politics of these pedagogies has been much less studied. Drawing on a range of international studies diverse contexts genres and different methods this book provides new sites of investigation and lines of inquiry. As a result of its broad ranging critical evaluation of ’food as classroom’ and ’food as teacher’ it provides theoretical resources for opening up the concept of pedagogy and assessing the moralities and politics of teaching and learning about food in the classroom and beyond.

Food Safety and Inspection An Introduction

Food Safety and Inspection An Introduction

The process of food inspection relies on an inspector's understanding of the intrinsic hazards associated with individual foods. Whereas spoilage can usually be determined through a simple organoleptic assessment the judgment of whether a food is fit for human consumption requires an evaluation of health hazards many of which may not be apparent through physical assessment. Instead the inspector must analyse and integrate scientific and handling information to evaluate the potential health risk. Adulteration of foods is also becoming an increasing problem and the complexity of the food supply chain requires an understanding of risk points to allow targeted inspection and assessment. Food Safety and Inspection: An Introduction focuses on food categories and describes common hazards associated with each using published peer-reviewed research to explain and evaluate the health risk. It is a practical textbook designed to support the role of food inspection in a modern food industry. There are seven chapters looking at specific aspects of food safety including a chapter on fraud and adulteration. This book summarises relevant published research to provide a scientific context for specific food safety issues and is an essential read for anyone interested in becoming a food inspector. | Food Safety and Inspection An Introduction

Rice Agriculture and the Food Supply in Premodern Japan

Rice Agriculture and the Food Supply in Premodern Japan

The majority of studies on the agricultural history of Japan have focused on the public administration of land and production and rice the principal source of revenue has received the most attention. However while this cereal has clearly played a decisive role in the public economy of the Japanese State it has not had a predominant place in agricultural production. Far from confining its scope to a study of rice growing for tax purposes this volume looks at the subsistence economy in the plant kingdom as a whole. This book examines the history of agriculture in premodern Japan from the 8th to the 17th century dealing with the history of agricultural techniques and food supply of rice wheat millet and other grains. Drawing extensively on material from history literature archaeology ethnography and botany it analyses each of the farming operations from sowing to harvesting and the customs pertaining to consumption. It also challenges the widespread theory that rice cultivation has been the basis of Japaneseness for two millennia and the foundation of Japanese civilization by focusing on the biodiversity and polycultural traditions of Japan. Further it will play a role in the current dialogue on the future of sustainable agricultural production from the viewpoints of ecology biodiversity dietary culture and food security throughout the world as traditional techniques such as crop rotation are explored in connection with the safeguarding of the minerals in the soil. Surveying agricultural techniques across the centuries and highlighting the dietary diversity of Japan this book will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese history the history of science and technology medieval history cultural anthropology and agriculture. | Rice Agriculture and the Food Supply in Premodern Japan

World Population and World Food Supplies

World Population and World Food Supplies

Originally published in 1954. This great work surveys the distribution of the world’s population and the food production of all countries chosen as important by reason of either their demands on the world food market or their contributions to it. The author concludes that the more advanced countries can be reasonably assured of food supplies for an indefinite period. The less advanced countries can no longer rely on self-contained systems: they must seek co-operation with the advanced countries to supply them with the appliances needed for a more highly developed agriculture. This book at the time gave statesmen and their scientific advisers agriculturalists and agricultural economists an invaluable new instrument. | World Population and World Food Supplies

Food Security Biological Diversity and Intellectual Property Rights

Food Security Biological Diversity and Intellectual Property Rights

This volume advances the claim that the FAO International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) adopted in 2001 is the only existing international agreement with the potential to promote food security conservation of biodiversity and equity. However for germplasm-rich countries national interests come into conflict with the global interest. This work shows that the pursuit of national interests is counterproductive when it comes to maintaining genetic resources food-security and rent-seeking and that optimally the coverage of the FAO Treaty should be widened to apply to all crops. | Food Security Biological Diversity and Intellectual Property Rights

Gender Nutrition and the Human Right to Adequate Food Toward an Inclusive Framework

Gender Nutrition and the Human Right to Adequate Food Toward an Inclusive Framework

This book introduces the human right to adequate food and nutrition as evolving concept and identifies two structural disconnects fueling food insecurity for a billion people and disproportionally affecting women children and rural food producers: the separation of women’s rights from their right to adequate food and nutrition and the fragmented attention to food as commodity and the medicalization of nutritional health. Three conditions arising from these disconnects are discussed: structural violence and discrimination frustrating the realization of women’s human rights as well as their private and public contributions to food and nutrition security for all; many women’s experience of their and their children’s simultaneously independent and intertwined subjectivities during pregnancy and breastfeeding being poorly understood in human rights law and abused by poorly-regulated food and nutrition industry marketing practices; and the neoliberal economic system’s interference both with the autonomy and self-determination of women and their communities and with the strengthening of sustainable diets based on democratically governed local food systems. The book calls for a social movement-led reconceptualization of the right to adequate food toward incorporating gender women’s rights and nutrition based on the food sovereignty framework. | Gender Nutrition and the Human Right to Adequate Food Toward an Inclusive Framework

Food Sovereignty Agroecology and Biocultural Diversity Constructing and contesting knowledge

Food Sovereignty Agroecology and Biocultural Diversity Constructing and contesting knowledge

Contestations over knowledge – and who controls its production – are a key focus of social movements and other actors that promote food sovereignty agroecology and biocultural diversity. This book critically examines the kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing needed for food sovereignty agroecology and biocultural diversity. ‘Food sovereignty’ is understood here as a transformative process that seeks to recreate the democratic realm and regenerate a diversity of autonomous food systems based on agroecology biocultural diversity equity social justice and ecological sustainability. It is shown that alternatives to the current model of development require radically different knowledges and epistemologies from those on offer today in mainstream institutions (including universities policy think tanks and donor organizations). To achieve food sovereignty agroecology and biocultural diversity there is a need to re-imagine and construct knowledge for diversity decentralisation dynamic adaptation and democracy. The authors critically explore the changes in organizations research paradigms and professional practice that could help transform and co-create knowledge for a new modernity based on plural definitions of wellbeing. Particular attention is given to institutional pedagogical and methodological innovations that can enhance cognitive justice by giving hitherto excluded citizens more power and agency in the construction of knowledge. The book thus contributes to the democratization of knowledge and power in the domain of food environment and society.

Economic Development in Rural Areas Functional and Multifunctional Approaches

Economic Development in Rural Areas Functional and Multifunctional Approaches

Analysing the ongoing changes and dynamics in rural development from a functional perspective through a series of case studies from the global north and south this volume deepens our understanding of the importance of new functional and multifunctional approaches in policy practice and theory. In rural areas of industrialized societies food production as a basis for growth and employment has been declining for many decades. In the Global South on the other hand food production is still often the most important factor for socio-economic development. However rural areas both in the industrialized north and in the global south are facing new challenges which lead to significant changes and threats to their development. New forms of food production but also new functional (e. g. housing or business parks) and often multifunctional approaches are being discussed and practiced yet it remains unclear the extent to which these result in better or more sustainable development of rural areas. | Economic Development in Rural Areas Functional and Multifunctional Approaches

Exploration in Development Issues Selected Articles of Nurul Islam

Exploration in Development Issues Selected Articles of Nurul Islam

This title was first published in 2003. Nurul Islam currently head of economic and social policy at the FAO/UN and a key advisor at the International Food Policy Research Institute has been a renowned expert on economic development for the past thirty years. Over that time he has researched and written about a wide range of economic development issues focussing mainly on policy. For the first time ever his most important writings have been brought together in this volume reflecting not only Professor Islam’s own views on particular issues but also providing a unique overview of the key debates and discussions taking place among academic economist and policy analysts over the past three decades. The collection is divided into three main sections: trade and aid development strategy and food security the section on food security being the most recent. It discusses food security in a broad sense covering issues of availability and growth in food production access or entitlement of individuals or households to basic food and variability in food supplies and prices. In the section on Development Strategy Professor Islam highlights how theoretical argument has veered away from organized ’development planning’ models which proved so important in the 1960s. He questions the role of models and policies throughout the decades and following articles written in the 1970s or 80s he includes articles he has recently completed assessing the previous ones from his current perspective. In the final section on Trade and Aid he follows the academic debate on trade and exchange rate policies in developing countries from the 1960s to the progress of the WTO forums of today. This is a wide-ranging and thought-provoking volume. No matter whether the subject in question was examined in the 1960s or currently Professor Islam provides a challenging and insightful analysis and even the earliest articles retain relevance and will be of continuing interest. | Exploration in Development Issues Selected Articles of Nurul Islam
