食品和可持续发展

艾玛 - 杰恩博士博茨

我对食品文化政治的研究中心和其生产，准备，分配和消费的内脏做法。它涉及新自由主义，全球流程和迁移农村社区及其食品实践的个人和集体后果，经验和谈判。我探讨了在未来的食物，环境和农村的文化想象，在未来的概念上绘制过去的食物环境的概念，以便在现在发生变化。因此，我使用食物和体现的食品实践，作为调查过去，现在和未来在对话中混合和绘制的机制。I am particularly interested in the ways discourses of ‘sustainable’ foodways are (re)produced, appropriated, mobilised, valued and negotiated by policy-makers, the food industry and the heritage industry, as well as by communities and individuals living in rural contexts. My research further interrogates the ways in which knowledges of the rural past are represented, mediated and sculpted by a range of social actors and their (often conflicting) cares and concerns for the future. In turn, I also ask how the perceived food challenges of the future are constructed in relation to an imagined (and often idealised) past and draw authority from present day issues – i.e. consolidation of the food industry, food safety scares and price rises.
