Food Movements

Food Movements

For over one-hundred years progressively minded individuals have striven to make improvements to the food system, with hopes of improving the health of society and the planet. It is becoming more critical for urban studies, sociology, and anthropology departments to teach students about contemporary and historical food movements. From the vegetarian movement led by John Kellogg at the turn of the century, to the slow food movement of today, food movements have played a pivotal role in the foods we eat. Ubiquitous among food activists today is the idea that food grown and purchased locally is overall better for consumer health and the health of the environment. Activists such as Joel Salatin, a farmer and local food evangelist featured in the book Food, Inc., decry the modernization of food and urge people to learn how to cook, buy local, buy in season and plant a garden.

Food Systems

Food Systems

Food Systems encompass all of the infrastructure and processes our food goes through and are an important element of food studies. Food systems includes growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, transporting, marketing, consumption and disposal. Many scholars in the 21st century have turned to food systems in order to determine how we can solve some of the major food related problems of our time, including hunger, malnutrition, food injustice, and environmental degradation Dr. Oran Hesterman in his book Fair Food said, “When a system we depend on to meet essential needs isn’t working, the consequences are enormous. The food system that evolved to bring us abundant food at low cost has grown out of control, nourishing us by destroying some of what we hold most precious: our environment, our health, and our future.”

Food and the Environment

Food and the Environment

As the earth’s population grows to 9 billion people, the amount of resources needed to produce enough food continues to rise. With food production taking over an estimated 50% of the earth’s surface, it’s necessary to question the sustainability of the food production and consumption practices worldwide. What can governments, corporations and farmers do to ensure that earth’s resources will continue to support food production in the future? As climate change impacts the resilience of subsistence farmers, what can be done to increase food security while decreasing environmental impact? It’s important to study environmental issues and food systems holistically as we try to answer these questions.
