Food studies is the critical examination of food and its contexts within science, art, history, society, and other fields. It is distinctive from other food-related areas of study such as nutrition, agriculture, gastronomy, and culinary arts in that it tends to look beyond the mere consumption, production, and aesthetic appreciation of food and tries to illuminate food as it relates to a vast number of academic fields. It is thus a field that involves and attracts philosophers, historians, scientists, literary scholars, sociologists, art historians, anthropologists, and others.
This is an interdisciplinary and emerging field, and as such there is a substantial crossover between academic and popular work. Practitioners reference best-selling authors, such as the journalist Michael Pollan, as well as scholars, such as the historian Warren Belasco and the anthropologist Sidney Mintz. While this makes the discipline somewhat volatile, it also makes it interesting and engaging. The journalist Paul Levy has noted, for example, that "Food studies is a subject so much in its infancy that it would be foolish to try to define it or in any way circumscribe it, because the topic, discipline or method you rule out today might be tomorrow’s big thing."
Chatham's Masters of Arts in Food Studies emphasizes a holistic approach to food systems, from agriculture and food production to cuisines and consumption, providing intellectual and practical experience from field to table. Learn more at falk.chatham.edu/foodstudies.

In service learning courses, students learn through active participation in thoughtfully organized work within the community that is connected to academic, credit-bearing courses. Students regularly report that service learning enriches their academic experience by providing opportunities to apply what they learn in class and collaborate with community partners to promote social innovation and change. It is no wonder, then, that service learning is on the rise at UCLA.

For more info, see http://www.umbra.org/food Is local food better for the environment? How do changes in eating reflect larger changes in history and economics? In this industrial age, why is agrobusiness still such a central part of so many economies? The Food Studies Program at the Umbra Institute challenges students to attempt to answer these questions and more while living in Perugia to study food in Italy. The footage is from the various workshops, as well as trips to Parma, Modena, and the Agriturismo 'Le Burge.' This short video gives an overview of the Food Studies Program.

Mapping the dynamic meanings of each term, the book moves forward from critical assessment to activ...
Read your free e-book: http://easyget.us/mebk/50/en/B01DTLXBUM/book Although the archaeology of food has long played an integral role in our understanding of past cultures, the archaeology of cooking is rarely integrated into models of the past. The cooks who spent countless hours cooking and processing food are overlooked and the forgotten players in the daily lives of our ancestors. The Menial Art of Cooking shows how cooking activities provide a window into other aspects of society and, as such, should be taken seriously as an aspect of social, cultural, political, and economic life.this book examines techniques and technologies of food preparation, the spaces where food was cooked, the relationship between cooking and changes in suprahousehold economies, the religious and symbolic aspe...

It draws on scholars working in the fields of political ecology, rural sociology, geography, and environmental studies to paint a picture of the past, present, and future of agriculture and food. It provides readers with a basic understanding of the institutions, practices, and concepts to identify what is and is not a "green" food. Because food is so intimately connected to our daily lives, the food system offers perhaps the most promise to make change in a sustainable direction. This volume addresses what a sustainable and green food system might look like, what policies would help realize it, and what kinds ...

Food Studies at SOAS http://www.soas.ac.uk/foodstudies/ This SOAS Food Studies Centre Distinguished Lecture titled "How Grains Domesticated Us" was given by James C. Scott (Sterling Professor of Political Science and Professor of Anthropology and Co-Director of the Agrarian Studies Program, Yale University) on 11 December 2014. How is it that homo sapiens came, only in the last 5% of its long career on the planet, to live in concentrated heaps of people, grain, and domesticated animals and, later, governed by units we call states? How were these earliest structured and governed? How did they persist (or perish) and how did they change the landscape and people they controlled? It is surely striking that virtually all classical states were based on grain, including millets. History records...
