How to Create a Sustainable Food Industry A Practical Guide to Perfect Food

This book presents a practical guide to help businesses navigate the complex topics of sustainability in the food industry. The book takes you on a journey along the food value chain from farm to fork exploring key opportunities to increase positive impacts and circularity at each step of the journey. Written by a team of authors with decades of experience in the food industry and academia it provides guidance on how to analyse sustainability across the value chain and life cycle of a food product and how to design implement and communicate strategies to customers. Furthermore the book shows that there are not always straightforward solutions but rather choices and trade-offs that require an understanding of what is best suited to the product customers and business in question. It demystifies a variety of topics such as local sourcing regenerative agriculture plant-based protein and the environmental impact of meat production and draws on a wide range of case studies from across the globe to provide concrete real-world examples. While a perfect food system may not exist informed decisions can go a long way to reshape and transform the food industry as we know it. This book will be of great interest to professionals working in the food and agriculture industries as well as students and scholars of sustainable food systems and sustainable business. | How to Create a Sustainable Food Industry A Practical Guide to Perfect Food

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 and Nutrition Sustainable food and health systems

Food and Nutrition Sustainable food and health systems

Food-how we produce prepare share and consume it-is fundamental to our wellbeing. It also connects the human body to the complex and dynamic systems of our environment. This is more significant than ever before in human history as climate change and increasing population impact on global ecosystems. This fourth edition of Food and Nutrition has been completely rewritten to reflect an ecosystems approach to human health. It is shaped around four dimensions of human nutrition: biology society environment and economy. Food and Nutrition provides a comprehensive overview of food components and the biochemistry of foods and digestion. It outlines nutrition needs at different life stages dietary disorders and social and cultural influences on food selection and consumption. It also explores the increasing influence of technology on agriculture and food preparation and recent research into intergenerational nutrition and nutrigenomics. At every stage it points to how you can impact your own health and the health of others as a global citizen and as a health or other food-system-related professional. Extensively illustrated with informative graphs diagrams and data and with examples glossaries and reflective exercises Food and Nutrition is the ideal introduction to the field of nutrition and dietetics for the 21st century and a valuable professional reference for early career dietitians. | Food and Nutrition Sustainable food and health systems

Food Hawkers Selling in the Streets from Antiquity to the Present

Food Hawkers Selling in the Streets from Antiquity to the Present

Street vendors are ubiquitous across the world and throughout history. They are part of almost any distribution chain and play an important role in the marketing of consumer goods particularly to poorer customers. Focusing on the food trades this multi-disciplinary volume explores the dynamics of street selling and its impact on society. Through an investigation of food hawking the volume both showcases the latest results from a subject that has seen the emergence of a significant body of innovative and adventurous scholarship and advances the understanding of street vending and its impact on society by stimulating interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary discussions. Covering a time span of approximately two millennia from antiquity to the present the book includes chapters on Europe and Asia and covers a diverse range of themes such as the identity of food sellers (in terms of gender ethnicity and social status); the role of the street seller in the distribution of food; the marketing of food; food traders and the establishment; the representation of food hawkers; and street traders and economic development. By taking a dynamic approach the collection has enabled its contributors to cross disciplinary boundaries and engage in discussions which extend beyond the limits of their own academic fields and thus provide a fresh appreciation of this ancient phenomenon. | Food Hawkers Selling in the Streets from Antiquity to the Present

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

Food History A Feast of the Senses in Europe 1750 to the Present

Food History A Feast of the Senses in Europe 1750 to the Present

This pioneering book elevates the senses to a central role in the study of food history because the traditional focus upon food types quantities and nutritional values is incomplete without some recognition of smell touch sight hearing and taste. Eating is a sensual experience. Every day and at every meal the senses of smell touch sight hearing and taste are engaged in the acts of preparation and consumption. And yet these bodily acts are ephemeral; their imprint upon the source material of history is vestigial. Hitherto historians have shown little interest in the senses beyond taste and this book fills that research gap. Four dimensions are treated: • Words Symbols and Uses: Describing the Senses – an investigation of how specific vocabularies for food are developed. • Industrializing the Senses – an analysis of the fundamental change in the sensory qualities of foods under the pressure of industrialization and economic forces outside the control of the household and the artisan producer. • Nationhood and the Senses – an exploration of how the combination of the senses and food play into how nations saw themselves and how food was a signature of how political ideologies played out in practical everyday terms. • Food Senses and Globalization – an examination of links between food the senses and the idea of international significance. Putting all of the senses on the agenda of food history for the first time this is the ideal volume for scholars of food history food studies and food culture as well as social and cultural historians.
