East Asia and Food (In)Security

East Asia and Food (In)Security

This book presents a study of perceptions of food insecurity in East Asia and explores how individual countries are developing strategies to deal with the situation. It also looks at how the perception of food insecurity has increasingly influenced the nature of international interactions not just within East Asia but also in the region’s relations with major external actors. Many of the challenges facing East Asia are generic food security issues that face people and governments across the world – for example the implications of climate change and demographic changes on food supplies. This book places the East Asian context in the wider discussion of food (in)security in global politics. However it also identifies potential regional ‘differences’ – for example the significance of rice for the region and the unavoidable impact of China as a major regional player. What the Chinese state and Chinese companies decide to do in response to concerns about food insecurity have an impact not just on the rest of the region but on the rest of the world. Taking too much of a Sinocentric focus however ignores other actors in East Asia or merely relegates discussion to how they respond to Chinese policies or external strategies. This book considers the region as a whole both when it comes to thinking about food security challenges and responses within the region itself and also in the outward projection of regional food insecurity on the rest of the world. This book was published as a special issue of The Pacific Review. | East Asia and Food (In)Security

Food

In Food John Coveney examines ‘food as … ’ identity politics industry regulation the environment justice and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. The centrality of food in life and the importance of food as life is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates personal pleasure and political power food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological social and cultural existence. In recent years interest in food has increased across the academic public and popular spheres fuelled by popular media’s constant play on the role of food and body size and food and cooking as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food we construct our social identities our families and communities. However Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialisation of food the environment and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries on which most of us must rely have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet and the development of illness and diseases. This accessible primer is for students and general readers alike indeed for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead it shows how influential symbolic powerful and transformative food has come to be.

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

This book explains how True Cost Accounting is an effective tool we can use to address the pervasive imbalance in our food system. Calls are coming from all quarters that the food system is broken and needs a radical transformation. A system that feeds many yet continues to create both extreme hunger and diet-related diseases and one which has significant environmental impacts is not serving the world adequately. This volume argues that True Cost Accounting in our food system can create a framework for a systemic shift. What sounds on the surface like a practice relegated to accountants is ultimately a call for a new lens on the valuation of food and a new relationship with the food we eat starting with the reform of a system out of balance. From the true cost of corn rice and water to incentives for soil health the chapters economically compare conventional and regenerative more equitable farming practices in and food system structures including taking an unflinching look at the true cost of cheap labour. Overall this volume points towards the potential for our food system to be more human-centred than profit-centred and one that has a more respectful relationship to the planet. It sets forth a path forward based on True Cost Accounting for food. This path seeks to fix our current food metrics in policy and in practice by applying a holistic lens that evaluates the actual costs and benefits of different food systems and the impacts and dependencies between natural systems human systems agriculture and food systems. This volume is essential reading for professionals and policymakers involved in developing and reforming the food system as well as students and scholars working on food policy food systems and sustainability. | True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

Food for Degrowth Perspectives and Practices

Food for Degrowth Perspectives and Practices

This collection breaks new ground by investigating applications of degrowth in a range of geographic practical and theoretical contexts along the food chain. Degrowth challenges growth and advocates for everyday practices that limit socio-metabolic energy and material flows within planetary constraints. As such the editors intend to map possibilities for food for degrowth to become established as a field of study. International contributors offer a range of examples and possibilities to develop more sustainable localised resilient and healthy food systems using degrowth principles of sufficiency frugal abundance security autonomy and conviviality. Chapters are clustered in parts that critically examine food for degrowth in spheres of the household collectives networks and narratives of broader activism and discourses. Themes include broadening and deepening concepts of care in food provisioning and social contexts; critically applying appropriate technologies; appreciating and integrating indigenous perspectives; challenging notions of 'waste' 'circular economies' and commodification; and addressing the ever-present impacts of market logic framed by growth. This book will be of greatest interest to students and scholars of critical food studies sustainability studies urban political ecology geography environmental studies such as environmental sociology anthropology ethnography ecological economics and urban design and planning. | Food for Degrowth Perspectives and Practices

Energy Environment and Geopolitics in Eurasia Search for Security in the Water-Energy-Food Nexus

Energy Environment and Geopolitics in Eurasia Search for Security in the Water-Energy-Food Nexus

This book advances our understanding of security and its intricate interactions with geopolitics and the environment in Eurasia. Norman A. Graham and Şuhnaz Yılmaz focus on Eurasia where the energy-water-food nexus has emerged as a vital aspect of political economy and increasinglyas a decisive factor for human security. As clearly revealed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine this nexus rests on a precarious balance. Graham and Yilmaz argue that Central Eurasia is currently “Running on Empty” and highlight the key environmental challenges including water quantity and quality and food security. The authors draw on their extensive fieldwork in countries including Azerbaijan China Georgia Kazakhstan the Russian Federation Turkey and Uzbekistan to assess the interests and impact of pivotal actors and evaluate the competition and complementarities of these actors regarding water energy food security and foreign policy imperatives. They also examine the broader interaction and implications of security at multiple levels by analyzing the local national and international factors in light of geopolitical and environmental challenges. Taking a novel and highly interdisciplinary approach this book will be an important resource for students and scholars of energy and food security political economy international conflict and cooperation and natural resource politics. | Energy Environment and Geopolitics in Eurasia Search for Security in the Water-Energy-Food Nexus

Schools and Food Education in the 21st Century

Schools and Food Education in the 21st Century

Schools and Food Education in the 21st Century examines how schools enact food policy and through doing so craft diverse foodscapes that create very different food experiences in schools. The school food policy discourse is made up of an amalgamation of discourses on obesity prevention nutrition education welfarism and foodieness. Whilst schools endeavor to enact policy in a variety of ways this book shows how foodieness is taken up and can only be taken up differently in different schools. The book’s unique contribution is to identify the discourse of foodieness and to show how this discourse whilst seemingly universal is actually situated in middle-class ideas and is therefore more easily taken up by certain schools. The book argues that the classed nature of foodieness leads to certain food knowledges becoming marginalized or lost and this then positions some schools in tension with their local communities resulting in widely variant food experiences for children. Earl demonstrates how foodieness is taken up in schools by first exploring how the foodscape at school is shaped by policy and media sources. The book then examines how foodieness is taken up by schools with different SES profiles by showing how food moves through the school day. Asking critical questions on class and poverty that are often overlooked this book will be of interest to researchers academics and students working on food issues related to teaching food policy and schools in the fields of education sociology and food studies. It should also be of interest to policymakers parents and teachers.

Food Justice in American Cities Stories of Health and Resilience

Food Justice in American Cities Stories of Health and Resilience

This book documents food insecurity in urban communities across the United States and asks whether emerging urban food and agriculture initiatives can address the food security needs of American city dwellers. While America has sufficient food to feed its entire population 38 million people are food insecure with urban communities and communities of color having long borne the brunt of food inequalities. This book traces the evolving story of food by describing the people behind food system statistics focusing on cities and suburban communities across America. In doing so it raises questions not only about food security but about a food economy that can foster justice and sustainability and combat hunger and waste. By linking human faces to the data the book reveals the many connections between food insecurity and unsustainable practices. The book concludes by discussing some of the pathways toward a more sustainable and just food system by linking the food system to the larger economy and the many sectors that are connected to food. Because of these multifaceted connections food can be a unique catalyst for creating pathways toward a more just and sustainable economy that is more aligned with nature. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of food justice food security urban food and agriculture urban sustainability and sustainable food systems more broadly. | Food Justice in American Cities Stories of Health and Resilience

Farmers' Cooperatives and Sustainable Food Systems in Europe

Farmers' Cooperatives and Sustainable Food Systems in Europe

Farmers' cooperatives are very prevalent in the European Union where they account for approximately half of agricultural trade and thus are key to articulating rural realities and in shaping the sustainability credentials of European food and farming. This book analyses to what extent farmers' cooperatives are working to benefit their members are showing concern for their communities and are promoting cooperative economies. It offers a multilevel set of theoretical disciplinary methodological empirical and social perspectives using the UK and Spain as contrasting examples and analyses whether agricultural cooperatives contribute to achieving sustainable food systems. The book presents empirical data from diverse and rich case studies from large international cooperatives to small multi-stakeholder initiatives. This provides an alternative viewpoint to that of economics which tends to dominate the study of agricultural cooperatives. The author presents a new theoretical framework that provides a novel lens to study farmers’ cooperatives as organisations deeply embedded in power dynamics of the food system and agricultural policy that shape and constraint their potential to adopt cooperative and sustainable practices. The book is a major addition to the study of agricultural cooperatives and their impact in the development of fairer and more sustainable food systems and it is one of the first detailed accounts of multi-stakeholder food and farming cooperatives in Europe. It is a valuable resource for all scholars working on cooperatives as well as for students studying agricultural and food policy environmental justice and rural sociology. | Farmers' Cooperatives and Sustainable Food Systems in Europe

Public Policies for Food Sovereignty Social Movements and the State

Public Policies for Food Sovereignty Social Movements and the State

An increasing number of rural and urban-based movements are realizing some political traction in their demands for democratization of food systems through food sovereignty. Some are pressuring to institutionalize food sovereignty principles and practices through laws policies and programs. While the literature on food sovereignty continues to grow in volume and complexity there are a number of key questions that need to be examined more deeply. These relate specifically to the processes and consequences of seeking to institutionalize food sovereignty: What dimensions of food sovereignty are addressed in public policies and which are left out? What are the tensions losses and gains for social movements engaging with sub-national and national governments? How can local governments be leveraged to build autonomous spaces against state and corporate power? The contributors to this book analyze diverse institutional processes related to food sovereignty ranging from community-supported agriculture to food policy councils direct democracy initiatives to constitutional amendments the drafting of new food sovereignty laws to public procurement programmes as well as Indigenous and youth perspectives in a variety of contexts including Brazil Ecuador Spain Switzerland UK Canada USA and Africa. Together the contributors to this book discuss the political implications of integrating food sovereignty into existing liberal political structures and analyze the emergence of new political spaces and dynamics in response to interactions between state governance systems and social movements voicing the radical demands of food sovereignty. | Public Policies for Food Sovereignty Social Movements and the State

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.
