Dealing with consumer uncertainty
My studies on the "uncertain consumer" began with a research project c- ducted by the Dr. Rainer Wild-Stiftung - Foundation for healthy nutrition - on the negative image of processed food. Ever since then I have been asked whether or not growing consumer uncertainty is linked to information po- cies of the food sector and if so, how.

Food Quality, Nutrition and Health
Responding to the dramatic scientific and technological developments in the agro-food sector and to the enormous public concern about novel food production and novel food ingredients this volume focusses on defining, classifying and reassessing the quality of food towards human nutritional needs aimed at health. It is designed for all those actively involved in the food sector and for interested lay persons and responsible consumers interested in getting information about the driving forces of the present and future food market, the food industry, and the food policy and the consumer association.
The Mediality of Sugar
The Mediality of Sugar probes the potential of reading sugar as a mediator across some of the disciplinary distinctions in early twenty-first century research in the arts, literature, architecture, and popular culture. Selected artistic practices and material cultures of sugar across Europe and the Americas from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century are investigated and connected to the transcontinental and transoceanic history of the sugar plants cane and beet, their botanical and cultural dissemination, and global sugar capital and trade under colonialism and in decoloniality. The collection contributes to the vision of a Transnational and Postdisciplinary Sugar Studies.
