Rewilding Food and the Self
This volume contributes to the return to nature movement that is very much in vogue in contemporary European societies, by examining the place of food and eating in the "rewilding" process. It is divided into three parts, each of which consists of conversations between social scientists, with fieldwork collected from across Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Norway and Switzerland. The first part focuses on the ways in which the hunter-gatherer livelihood has been transformed into a resilient, simpler and ecological way of life. It is dedicated to hunting and identifies the contexts in which large wild game meat is consumed and the reasons why such a product is still valued today. The second p...
Evaluating Sustainable Food System Innovations
This book presents URBAL, an approach that applies impact pathway mapping to understand how food system innovations in cities, and their territories, change and impact food system sustainability. Around the world, people are finding innovative ways to make their food systems more sustainable. However, documenting and understanding how these innovations impact the sustainability of food system can be a challenge. The Urban Driven Innovations for Sustainable Food Systems (URBAL) methodology responds to these constraints by providing innovations with a simple, open-source, resource-efficient tool that is easily appropriated and adaptable to different contexts. URBAL is designed to respond to th...
Towards sustainable wildlife management
Zambia and Zimbabwe, with Angola, Botswana and Namibia, constitute the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KaZa-TFCA), which is the largest transfrontier conservation area in the world (520 000 km²), and whose key objective is to join fragmented wildlife habitats to form an interconnected mosaic of protected areas and transboundary wildlife corridors. In this region, wildlife populations have declined over the past three decades, mainly due to poaching and loss of habitat. In this TFCA, the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme aims to address these challenges by promoting the model of community conservancy (CC) to diversify income-generating activities and supply a w...
Risk and Food Safety in China and Japan
Around the world, food has probably never been as safe as it is today. However, periodic crises have aroused consumer anxiety and contributed to a general lack of confidence in the agro-industrial system. The diverse nature of these crises increases governments’ and industry difficulties in predicting and tackling them. This book addresses the relations between risk and food theoretically and empirically through case studies from Japan and China. Part I of the book examines the interaction between theoretical aspects and decision-making. The book theorizes the links between food and risk and analyses the decision-making process in light of risks and governance. The relationship between foo...
Sustainable Food System Assessment
Sustainable Food System Assessment provides both practical and theoretical insights about the growing interest in and response to measuring food system sustainability. Bringing together research from the Global North and South, this book shares lessons learned, explores intended and actual project outcomes, and highlights points of conceptual and methodological convergence. Interest in assessing food system sustainability is growing, as evidenced by the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact and the importance food systems initiatives have taken in serving as a lever for attaining the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This book opens by looking at the conceptual considerations of food systems indicato...
Cuisine du futur et alimentation de demain
Chercheurs, journalistes et experts portent ici leur attention sur les formes variables de la consommation alimentaire, dans un avenir proche ou lointain. Le cœur des chapitres porte sur les aliments, leur symbolisme, leurs productions et transformations, les repas et les formes de sociabilité qui s’y rattachent. Si cuisiner aujourd’hui permet de réunir et de partager, cuisiner sera sans doute demain synonyme de liberté d’agir, de créer et de penser.
Lâchez du lest
Le Docteur nutritionniste Arnaud Cocaul nous invite à nous détendre sur la question de l’alimentation en général et de notre poids en particulier. Entre l’abondance de régimes tendance, le manger bio controversé, la guerre contre les plats industriels, etc. : comment faire face à toutes les consignes de bons comportements alimentaires et les faire coïncider avec notre vie quotidienne dont les contraintes ne se limitent pas à gérer le contenu de notre assiette ! Le Docteur Cocaul nous aide à déculpabiliser, à faire le tri dans toutes ces injonctions et nous invite à prendre soin de nous en tenant compte de qui nous sommes (âge, situation familiale, mode de vie). Il rappelle surtout les fondamentaux intangibles tel qu’être plus bienveillant envers soi et moins malmener son corps.

Eating in the City
This book explores changes in eating habits in African, Latin American and Asian cities. It reveals--through studies on city dwellers' food practices and representations--the inadequacy of an analytical approach to these changes in terms of Westernization, standardization, transition or convergence towards a widely applicable model. Surveys conducted in cities of the Global South revealed that city dwellers are inventing new forms of eating based on a multitude of local and/or exogenous sources. Abidjan garba and Ouagadougou bâbenda are novel dishes that exemplify this urban food invention trend. The authors of the chapters are humanities and social science specialists from Africa, Latin Am...
