SUMMARY:Food Thinkers: Preference: the missing ingredient in food policy
DESCRIPTION:Preference: the missing ingredient in food policy\nWith Bee Wilson – food writer\, journalist and historian\nChaired by Professor Corinna Hawkes\, Centre for Food Policy\, City\, University of London\nThe Centre for Food Policy’s Food Thinkers series aims to advance the thinking and practice of integrated approaches to food policy. \n \nThe likes and dislikes populations have about food – reinforced by habit and mediated by food prices – are one of the greatest reasons anyone eats something. Bee will present some of the mechanisms through which human preferences are formed; and how they can change throughout the human lifespan. \nThe seminar will consider a few examples of whole populations either changing their food preferences in a healthier direction\, encouraged by food policy (Japan) or retaining traditional preferences in the wake of the nutrition transition (South Korea). \nBee will also draw on and share her experience of involvement with a new charity called Flavour School which is using the Sapere method of sensory education pioneered in Scandinavia to help children in the UK develop new and more varied preferences for fruits and vegetables among other foods. \nThis will be followed by Q&A and discussion with the audience. \nBee Wilson\nBee Wilson is a food writer\, journalist and historian. She is the author of several books including First Bite: How We Learn to Eat and Consider the Fork: a history of how we cook and eat. Her next book\, due out next year\, is about the nutrition transition. \nShe writes for a wide range of newspapers including The Guardian\, The Wall Street Journal and The London Review of Books. She is the chair of Flavour School\, a new charity offering a programme of sensory food education to primary school children in the U.K.

SUMMARY:Public health as a ‘public good’ from agriculture. How can we win support for this principle from UK policy makers?
DESCRIPTION:Half-day seminar\, 2pm-5pm\, Wednesday 11th July 2018\, at City\, University of London\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nAccording to the Defra consultation document Health and Harmony\, the rubric of ‘Public money for public goods’ will be the ‘cornerstone’ of agriculture policy after the UK leaves the EU. The Food Research Collaboration at the Centre for Food Policy at City\, University London\, is working with the Sustain food and farming alliance and the Royal Society for Public Health to explore the grounds for including public health as one of the public goods that should be supported under the new UK Agriculture Act\, as well as being cited as a ‘purpose’ of the Act. Support might include increased fruit and vegetable production and reduced sugar production; safer and better jobs in food and farming; and whole-farm approaches to integrated health and sustainability\, for example. \nExamples of public goods floated in the Health and Harmony paper include improved soil\, water and air quality\, public access to nature\, ‘enhanced beauty’ and bee health. Human health\, however\, is not included except as an indirect benefit of clean air and water\, access to green space and controlled use of farm antibiotics and pesticides. \nExplicit integration of public health seems a serious omission\, given that the self-evident primary purpose of agriculture is to provide the food necessary for health; and that agricultural policy has enormous potential either to support or undermine public health\, with significant related benefits or costs to human well-being and the economy. Indeed\, Defra Secretary of State Michael Gove has himself stated this in recent speeches. It may also be the case that if public health is not asserted now as a valid criterion in deciding which purposes agricultural policy should support\, it risks being ‘defined out’ of future debate. This will inevitably jeopardise efforts to achieve more coherent farming\, food and health policy. \nThis half-day seminar will examine the question: ‘Public health as a ‘public good’ from agriculture: How can we win support for this principle from UK policy makers?’ The seminar will be highly collaborative\, with attendees encouraged to take an active part. We aim to develop and publish a rationale for including public health front-and-centre among the public goods to be supported by the new UK Agriculture Act. We believe this would be a significant step for integrated public policy. \nRSVP to: Lindy Sharpe\, Food Research Collaboration: contact@foodresearch.org.uk \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeminar convened by Lindy Sharpe\, Food Research Collaboration; Kath Dalmeny and Vicki Hird of Sustain; and Shirley Cramer\, Royal Society for Public Health. Kath and Shirley are also commissioners for the RSA’s Food\, Farming and Countryside Commission and this seminar will inform their response to this and other processes.

SUMMARY:Food Thinkers - What are the research gaps that need to be filled to help public-private action be more effective in promoting nutrition?
DESCRIPTION:What are the research gaps that need to be filled to help public-private action be more effective in promoting nutrition? \nWith guest speaker: \nLawrence Haddad\,\nExecutive Director\, Global Alliance for Improving Nutrition (GAIN)\nTaking place on Wednesday 27 June at the slightly earlier time of 4.30pm \nB200\, University Building\, City\, University of London \nMany food system stakeholders from public and private sectors think that they should be doing more and better work together to make the food system deliver more affordable and available nutritious food for all. \nWhat are the knowledge and evidence gaps that are holding us back from doing this and are they researchable? \nThis presentation will explore potential areas where more and better public-private engagements can advance nutrition\, ask what is holding back these engagements and what research can do to inform and facilitate them and make them more likely to deliver. \nQuestions and discussion will then be opened to the audience. \nThe seminar is free to attend\, tickets are allocated on a first come first served basis so please do register here to secure your space. Please also feel free to forward this invitation onto colleagues.

SUMMARY:April 25 | The 2018 City Food Policy Symposium - Connecting people with food policy
DESCRIPTION:The aim of the 2018 City Food Policy Symposium is to learn more about how gathering and translating evidence of lived experience of food-related problems can help make food policy more effective in delivering its goals. It will explore how gathering evidence of lived experiences of food challenges – how citizens and communities experience\, explain and respond to them – can inform more effective\, equitable and empowering policy solutions. \nThe morning session will include short “taster” presentations by policy makers\, academics and NGOs concerned with different aspects of food\, of examples where they have listened to people and where they have involved them in defining problems or crafting solutions. \nThe afternoon session will be made up of 2.5-3 hour workshops led by the policy\, NGOs\, programme and academic community. They will be designed to provide learning opportunities for how to gather and translate the evidence of lived experience. A cross-cutting theme for all the workshops will be processes through which the evidence gathered of lived experience can be used to meaningfully improve decision-making. \nThe output of the symposium will be a report bringing together a shared understanding of the value of gathering evidence of lived experiences and how this evidence can be most effectively translated into transformative action. \nThis event is generously supported by the Worshipful Company of Cooks. \n\nSymposium Programme (may be subject to amends)\nThe event will be chaired by Professor Corinna Hawkes\, Director\, Centre for Food Policy at City\, University of London \n\n9.30am – 10am Registration and coffee \n\n10am – 10.20am Scene Setting: The spectrum of lived experience from listening to co-creation (speaker TBC) \n\n10.20am – 11.20am Session One: Short talks on how do we listen\, what do we learn \nFocus groups for advocacy: listening to the experience of diet-related noncommunicable diseases in Mexico\nCristina Parsons Perez\, Capacity Development Director\, NCD Alliance\, Geneva \nEngaging with consumers to inform policy: listening to the publics views on food systems in the UK\nMichelle Patel\, Head of Social Science\, Food Standards Agency\, UK \nAssessing vulnerability and risk for intervention design in diabetes: insights from research in Houston\, Mexico City\, Vancouver and other global cities.\nDr Anna-Maria Volkmann\, University College London and Director of Research and Training\, Cities Changing Diabetes Programme \nEngaging Canadians to inform a national food policy: ways of listening to thousands\nRaphael Sauve\, Agriculture and Agrifoods Canada; Dr Hasan Hutchinson\, Director General of Nutritional Policy and Programs\, Health Canada; and Diana Bronson\, Executive Director\, Food Secure Canada (by video) \nInterviewing young people for research: listening to teenagers voices on what influences food purchases in and out of schools in Scotland and England.\nProfessor Wendy Wills\, Professor of Food and Public Health\, University of Hertfordshire\, UK \n“Listening posts” to inform activism and policy in development: the experience of high food prices in Asia\, Latin America and Africa\nDr Alexandra Wanjiku Kelbert\, Researcher\, Life in a Time of Food Price Volatility \n\n11.20am – 11.40am Coffee break \n\n11.40am – 12.40pm Session Two: Short talks on involving and empowering people with lived experiences \nLessons from Witnesses to Hunger: how to disrupt the status quo through action research and photovoice in the United States.\nTianna Gaines-Turner\, Witness to Hunger and Professor Mariana Chilton\, Professor\, Health Management and Policy Director\, Center for Hunger-Free Communities\, School of Public Health\, Drexel University\, Philadelphia\, USA (by video) \nLearning lessons from the experience of food poverty: a Systems Leadership approach to creating food wealth in Cornwall.\nMatthew Thompson\, Chief Executive\, Fifteen-Cornwall \nDeliberative processes for analysing research findings: involving small farmers in transforming food systems in Nicaragua and the UK\nElise Wach\, Research Advisor\, Institute of Development Studies\, Brighton\, UK; Doctoral Researcher\, Centre for Agroecology\, Water and Resilience\, Coventry University\, UK \nCo-designing user-centered services: involving older people in the UK’s Food for Life programme\nFrancesca Sanders\, Head of Service Design\, Food for Life\, UK \nGroup model building for local solutions: involving communities in obesity prevention in rural Australia\nJanette Lowe\, Executive Officer\, Southern Grampians Glenelg Primary Care Partnership\, Victoria\, Australia (by video) \nFood Diaries as citizen-generated evidence: bottom up advocacy for dietary diversity in Western Uganda\nRepresentative of Kabarole Research and Resource Centre (KRC)\, Uganda\, on behalf of the Sustainable Diets For All programme\, International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) HIVOS and KRC \n\n12.40pm – 2pm Lunch \n\n2pm – 5pm Workshops \nThe 2.5-3 hour workshops will run in parallel and be led by members of the policy\, NGOs\, programme and academic community. They will be designed to provide learning opportunities for how to gather and translate the evidence of lived experience. A cross-cutting theme for all the workshops will be processes through which the evidence gathered of lived experience can be used to meaningfully improve decision-making. \n\nWorkshop One – Empowering people in food poverty\nLed by Ben Pearson\, Food Power; Empowerment Programme Officer\, Church Action on Poverty; Workstream Leader ‘Involving Experts by Experience’\, plus a Food Power pilot participant. \nWorkshop capacity: 30 \nThis workshop will be used to inform the Food Power programme\, a programme which tackles food poverty through people-powered change. The aim will be to identify how the experiences of people in food poverty can be used to inform more effective decisions about programme and policies designed to address it. \nFacilitated by the leader of the Food Power workstream on ‘Involving Experts by Experience’\, it will start with a general introduction to Food Power\, followed by interactive activity designed to reveal the purpose of involving experts by experience\, exploring empowerment & influence. It will then showcase & provide an opportunity to test the three different methods that are to be used in the Food Power ‘Involving Experts by Experience’ pilots. This will be followed by a discussion about how the information captured can be used to influence decision-making by programme and policy makers\, and what these decision-makers needs are. \nThis Workshop will provide insights to anyone concerned with effective and sustainable solutions to food poverty. It will be particularly relevant to programme and policy makers at the local level looking to inform their food poverty activities through evidence of lived experience. Decision-makers who would like to feedback and inform the Food Power programme are particularly welcome. \nWorkshop Two – Better everyday takeaway\nLed by Chris Holmes\, MD\, Shift \nWorkshop capacity: 15 \nShift\, a leading product design charity\, have been working on fast food’s role in unhealthy weight gain. They are about to start market testing a new social venture to reduce calories in inner city fast food. This co-creation workshop will give you direct experience\, as a participant\, of the co-creation phase they’ve just completed and put this step into the context of the overall process of product and service design they follow. The content is ‘hot of the press’ and the process is live and ongoing. You won’t get closer to such a programme without being in the programme team but in return expect to work hard for 3-hours and come away exhausted – not for those who want a relaxed afternoon of presentations. \nThe workshop is for those interested in: people’s relationship with fast food; experiencing a co-creation technique; and product/ service design. You will come away with an overview of a product design process\, first hand experience of one stage and some of the most up to date understanding of people’s lived experience of fast food. \n\nWorkshop Three – Trust in the food system\nLed by Michelle Patel\, Head of Social Science\, Food Standards Agency \nWorkshop capacity: 30 \nThe FSA’s strategic aim is “Food we can trust”. However\, current discourse suggests that worldwide\, trust in government\, NGOs\, business\, and media has declined. Some commentators blame this ‘crisis of trust’ on the rise of social media and the democratisation of information. The FSA has been researching the trust and connection that people have in the food system\, and what a) the regulator and b) the food industry can learn to maintain\, improve and deserve the confidence of the communities we serve. \nThis workshop is one of a series with industry and civil society where we would like to briefly present the insights gained so far from three years of research into people’s lived experiences and gather views on what drives and builds a trusted a) regulator and b) a trustworthy food system in an increasingly complex world. \nIt is part of a programme of work to explore the issue in more depth\, including establishing new quantitative measures to understand and track public views including the development of a composite measure for trust\, a literature review covering the contemporary drivers and barriers to trust in industry\, the food system and in regulators and qualitative research which will explore trust with citizens. \nThis workshop will be of particular interest to those who seek to understand or represent food businesses and consumers of food. \nThis programme will be brought together later this year in a peer-reviewed synthesis with existing research from the FSA and elsewhere\, intended to help locate food policy decisions in England\, Wales and Northern Ireland in the coming years and to inform the wider discourse. \n\nWorkshop Four – Engaging in Brexit: How can we meaningfully involve the British public in developing a fairer vision for food and farming in post-Brexit UK\nLed by Lynne Davis\, RSA Food Farming and Countryside Commission\, Sinead Fenton\, Food Research Collaboration\, Centre for Food Policy. City\, University of London and Rosalind Sharpe\, Centre for Food Policy\, City\, University of London \nWorkshop capacity: 30 people \nThe RSA Food Farming and Countryside Commission launched in November 2017 with the aim of building a widely shared public mandate for the future of food\, farming and the countryside in post-Brexit UK. This workshop will help inform our year long program of national engagement with citizens and practitioners in food\, farming and countryside issues. \nIn June 2016 the British public was formally consulted on EU membership – arguably a simplistic gesture of public engagement with very little follow-up opportunity in shaping the future of this country. So what does it mean to meaningfully involve citizens and stakeholders in the decisions that will shape their future? \nJointly facilitated by the RSA Food Farming and Countryside Commission\, the Food Research Collaboration and the Centre for Food Policy\, this highly participatory workshop will delve into the nature of engagement in food and farming issues. We’ll start by taking stock of the current landscape of engagement\, looking at the processes that have gone into existing consultation and policy proposals across the sector. We’ll then draw on the collective experience of participants to explore method and practice through a lens of meaning and efficacy. We’ll mix presentations\, multimedia\, discussions\, problem solving and post-it notes in this creative and collaborative session. From the workshop we’ll build a toolkit based on our collective experiences. \nThis workshop will provide insights to anyone concerned about how to take the opportunity of Brexit to improve food policy. It is for anyone that has ideas or experience in working with individuals and groups to gather ideas\, ask opinions\, consult on proposals or deliberate on democracy. \n\nWorkshop Five – Co-production: guidelines for respectful collaboration between people with lived experience and campaigners/researchers\nLed by Caroline Mockford\, Food Justice Campaigner\, and Pete Ritchie\, Director\, Nourish Scotland \nWorkshop capacity: 25 \nThis workshop will be used to inform the discourse in the food justice movement in the UK and more broadly. The aim is to stimulate thinking and reflection on the complexities of co-production in the food justice movement. \nAt the start of the workshop\, the co-presenters will talk about their experience of co-production\, especially on the food justice agenda.  We will also draw more generally on the practice of collaboration in the pursuit of social change between researchers\, campaigners and people directly affected by injustice. \nThe themes raised will include: \n\nRepresentation of lived experience: how researchers and campaigners can add weight to people’s experience without taking over\, or making people look like victims.\nRepresentativeness: how individual experience turns into collective experience through people finding a way to understand what’s going on.  How to deal with claims that ‘expert users’ are not representative.\nPower: how setting up ‘of’ organisations can empower people in their relationships with ‘for’ organisations; the particular challenges of developing and nurturing strong ‘of’ organisations around food justice issues\, and comparisons with other social movements.\nBread and butter issues: the way meetings are organized and managed; how money gets shared.  Examples of best practice and the not so good.\n\nThe workshop will then open for a guided discussion \nThe workshop will provide insights for those of us who are researchers and campaigners and see our work benefiting others. It will remind us of how we can engage coherently and respectfully with those whose experiences we rely on for our work. For those of us who come to the workshop as people with lived experience it will provide an opportunity to share experience of collaboration and remind us what we have a right to expect. \nFurther workshops will be announced shortly\, examples include: \n– Visual methods for gathering evidence of lived experience (led by Universidad de Alcalá\, Madrid) \n– Systems leadership and food (led by the Leadership Centre) \nEach workshop with have a capacity of between 15-30 people and workshop signup will be circulated in March.

SUMMARY:Food Thinkers | Trust is a must: Food policy in an age of doubt
DESCRIPTION:Trust is a must: Food policy in an age of doubt\n\nWith Professor John Coveney\, Flinders University \nChaired by Professor Martin Caraher\, City\, University of London \nThe Centre for Food Policy’s monthly Food Thinkers series aims to advance the thinking and practice of integrated approaches to food policy. For this March 2018 Food Thinkers we are honoured to have with us\, John Coveney\, Professor of Global Food\, Culture and Health at Flinders University\, Adelaide\, South Australia\, discussing consumer trust in food and food systems. \n\nConsumer trust in food and food systems is crucial for health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. Breaches of consumer food trust can be damaging to the credibility of food regulators\, impacting also on the productivity of food producers\, manufacturers and retailers. \nResearchers at Flinders University (South Australia)\, City University (UK) and University of Kent (UK) over the past 5 years have worked together on an Australian Research Council grant to compare and contrast ways that food trust is damaged. Of particular interested was how trust can be repaired after a food scandal or food scare. Using consensus-testing processes with experts in their respective fields\, the researchers sought to arrive at best practice models to assist government\, industry\, consumer groups and media to (re)build trust during times of doubt about the integrity of the food system. \nProfessor Coveney will present this research and findings after which questions and discussion will be opened to the audience. \nProfessor John Coveney PhD\, APD\nJohn Coveney is Professor of Global Food\, Culture and Health at Flinders University\, Adelaide\, South Australia. He has research and education interests in food policy; public health nutrition; history of food and health; and social and cultural factors that influence food trust\, food patterns and food intake. He is an Honorary Research Fellow at City University\, UK.

SUMMARY:Rethinking food: The creativity of entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION:Food\, from production through consumption to waste is a complex system at the centre of human life and culture. Food therefore is an important new area for entrepreneurial activity and design has a key role to play in its development working with business and academia. How can researchers in design and business from the UK and Turkey work together to promote entrepreneurialism and sustainability? \nThis workshop will provide an important opportunity to share learning from and build on the successful 4 year Arts and Humanities Research Council funded Design in Action project. Gray’s School of Art\, Robert Gordon University\, led on the food theme resulting in several new startups. \nUnder the Researcher Links scheme offered within the Newton Fund\, the British Council and TUBITAK will be holding a four-day workshop on design entrepreneurship in Istanbul\, on 3-6 October 2017. \nBased on a concept developed by Gray’s Early Career Researcher\, Dr Nil Gulari the workshop is being coordinated by Professor Emeritus Anne Douglas (Robert Gordon University) and Professor Alpay Er (Ozyegin University) and will have contributions from other leading researchers including Professor Ozlem Er (Istanbul Technical University)\, Chris Fremantle (Robert Gordon University)\, Dr Nil Gulari (Robert Gordon University) and Dr Isıl Oygur Ilhan (Ozyegin University). All travel and accommodation expenses will be covered by the Newton Researcher Links programme. \nGulari’s Phd (2014) focused on Design Support Programmes in UK including Gray’s Centre for Design Innovation (c4di)\, Design in Action and her current research investigates design-led entrepreneurship and innovation in Estonia\, Turkey\, and France. Leaders of these programmes\, including Professor Ozlem Er\, came together during the Scottish Design Summit in 2015 in Edinburgh to exchange current thinking and plan future collaborations. \nWe are now inviting Early Career Researchers in the fields of design\, business or food related science (completed their PhD within the last 10 years or equivalent research experience) from the UK and Turkey to apply to attend this workshop. \nThe application form\, with more details on the initiative\, is attached here: Newton Fund call information and application form and should be sent to n.gulari@rgu.ac.uk before the deadline of the 7th August. \nApplicants should address the questions via email to n.gulari@rgu.ac.uk. Selected applicants will be informed by 2nd of August 2017. \nKey Information: \nWorkshop Title: Rethinking food: The creativity of entrepreneurship \nUK coordinator: Professor Anne Douglas\, Robert Gordon University \nPartner Country coordinator: Professor Alpay Er\, Ozyegin University. \nDiscipline: Creative fields\, Business and Food sciences \nDates and venue: 3-6 October 2017\, Istanbul

SUMMARY:Royal Geographical Society Annual International Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Annual International Conference 2017 is chaired by Sarah Radcliffe (University of Cambridge\, UK).\nDecolonising geographical knowledges: opening geography out to the world\nThe chair’s theme for the 2017 Annual Conference is Decolonizing geographical knowledges: opening geography out to the world. We welcome sessions and papers which engage directly with this theme\, as well as others focusing on all areas of geography.  \nDecolonizing geographical knowledges aims to query implicitly universal claims to knowledges associated with the west\, and further interrogate how such knowledges continue to marginalize and discount places\, people and knowledges across the world. Debates around decolonizing geographical knowledges have become increasingly important during the past decade among teachers\, activists and academics\, and draw upon postcolonial\, indigenous studies and other critical perspectives. The challenge is to re-think scholarly epistemic and institutional forms of knowledge production that  privilege predominantly western over ‘southern’ knowledges and ways of seeing. Such debates in turn influence how geographers and geographical knowledge engage with schools\, students\, policy-makers and third sector organisations. The 2017 Annual Conference offers an opportunity to take these debates forward in the context of research on socio-natures\, the Anthropocene\, and multi-scalar inequalities but also\, more widely\, by demonstrating the power of decolonial geographical thinking to work relationally across disciplinary boundaries and to expand the scope of decolonial practice in research. The conference aims to encourage debate about these issues including potential contributions from decolonizing geographical knowledges to existing approaches and methodologies in human and physical geography.

SUMMARY:The 10th International Critical Management Studies (CMS) Conference – CMS 2017
DESCRIPTION:Reorganising the neo-liberal food system: Evolution\, Rebellion or Revolution?\nCall for papers\nSubmissions to this conference stream should be a 500-word abstract which demonstrates how it addresses the topic of the research stream as indicated below illustrating a theoretical/empirical contribution to the topic. The word limit excludes references. \nThe deadline for submission of abstracts is January 31\, 2017. Please submit the abstract by sending it to the lead convener by email. If you have queries regarding your submission please feel free to email the conveners. \nThe acceptance of abstracts will be communicated by February 27\, 2017. \nClick here for more information about the conference stream \nConveners:\nGillian Hopkinson (lead convener)\, Lancaster University g.hopkinson@lancaster.ac.uk \nDave Watson\, University of East Anglia david.watson@uea.ac.uk \nIsabelle Szmigin\, University of Birmingham\, I.T.SZMIGIN@bham.ac.uk \n\nOn one hand the neo-liberal food system can be considered highly efficient. This system of production and distribution has produced higher yields\, and lower food prices in real terms\, as well being highly profitable for organisations and\, latterly\, futures traders (Clapp\, 2014). On the other hand\, it has been criticised for a narrow view of what constitutes efficiency. The organisation of the food system around the primary goal of profit accumulation has also produced obesity alongside persistent undernourishment (Alexandratos & Bruinsma\, 2012)\, and environmental degradation contributing to climate change (IAASTD\, 2009). Meanwhile there is a concentration of wealth and power in a small number of trans-national agri-food corporations at the expense of individual producer and consumers (Halweil\, 2002\, p. 25). This state of affairs has given rise to counter tendencies\, apparently expressing discontent and a desire to change the food system for the better (Allen\, 2010). \nWhilst few could disagree with this sentiment\, the question of how to re-organise the food system in a ‘better’ way remains. The call for some sort of ‘food revolution’ to address contemporary problems in our food systems is not new\, but it is contested. Specifically\, proposals differ in terms of what is to be changed\, who is to take action to bring the change about and whether this will be at the individual\, civil or political level as well as the means through which that change will be achieved. \nProminent claims to revolution include The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa\, which is backed by the Gates Foundation. This envisages increased farm productivity and livelihoods through a re-run of the technological farming solutions applied in the original green revolution. The need to boost productivity and ensure food security underpins the argument behind this approach\, undermining claims of ‘greenness’ (Tomlinson\, 2011). Opponents\, however\, point out that the world already produces more than enough food for its growing population and point to the need to revolutionise the political economy instead of technological innovation (HoltGiménez\, Shattuck\, Altieri\, Herren\, & Gliessman\, 2012). Others are concerned with consumers’ dwindling knowledge of food production\, nutrition and cookery (Meyer\, Coveney\, Henderson\, Ward\, & Taylor\, 2012; Thompson & Coskuner‐Balli\, 2007). Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution aims to equip people with the requisite knowledge to act as responsible consumers in food markets\, taking an educational approach. \nA plethora of so called alternative food movements have rebelled against the dominant food system. They reflect a multitude of issues of concern and modes of organisation. Gleaning and dumpster diving networks link up to those concerned with re-distributing food to address undernutrition and food waste. Alternative agriculture groups and famers markets reconnect producers and consumers\, often promoting particular production standards of ethical production\, such as organic. Meanwhile we are called on to act as individual citizens\, to exercise our influence in the market by voting with each fork full. We are enabled to enact this change by a range of labelling and certification schemes designed to inform consumers. Armed with this information we are expected to make responsible buying choices and signal a desire for more accountable production thereby bringing about changes in the food system. Or so the argument goes. \nSome ‘revolutions’ (e.g. Jamie Oliver) have been critiqued for lending support to the neo-liberal conceptualisation of the market. Other revolutions (e.g. Green Revolution for Africa) are critiqued because they favour the interests of particular commercial organisations. The actions of civil groups have been portrayed as more rebellious than revolutionary with limited potential to unsettle extant practice. The ability to vote through consumption tending to privilege the values and interests of the wealthy\, without unsettling the dominant mode of production and consumption (Eden\, Bear\, & Walker\, 2008\, p. 1047). More fundamental re-organising of the food system through community-based food production can be understood as a quiet revolution in the way that it defies the standard market model (Boehm\, Mizocsky\, Watson & Lanka). Instead\, it offers a ‘special emphasis on creating and building community around the interwoven issues of food\, land and nature’. (Hinrichs\, 2000\, p.299) Approaches to change differ then. From those that are evolutionary offering no fundamental change to revolutions aiming to upturn the faith in markets and replace economic values with social and/or environmental values through other methods of organisation. \nWe welcome papers that critically examine our contemporary food system\, the problems it generates and/or the range of initiatives that seek to address its current deficiencies. In particular we hope to explore questions about who might bring about change\, the extent of change that might be brought about\, the interests served by change and who is/should be responsible for change. In short\, can and will deficiencies be addressed through continued evolution of industry\, through the rebellious acts of individuals or civic society or might these amount to a full-blown revolution? \nWe welcome papers from any discipline that critically explores our food systems and the possibilities of change. We encourage contributors to engage with the food system at the political level\, as well as the social\, cultural and economic level. Contributors may consider any aspects of the food system and approaches to change and take a theoretical or empirical approach. Questions that might be addressed are not limited to but could include the following: \n\nCritiques of current developments within the food system such as technological solutions\, sustainable intensification\, or the financialisation of commodities.\nCase studies and practice-oriented discussions of approaches that challenge aspects of industrial agriculture\, the global food system\, the monopoly of supermarkets\, etc. Contributions from practitioners welcome.\nAlternative futures\, the scale\, limitations and social reach of forms of localism and biodynamic\, craft\, seasonal and cooperative production. To what extent do these alternatives disrupt and/or reproduce existing market relations and inequalities?\nThe role and identities of revolutionaries – who can lead change\, how can they lead change\, how do those engaged in alternative projects understand their role?\nIndustry responses to calls for change – how are acts of rebellion institutionalised\, with what effect at to what end?\nThe values that underpin the dominant food system and how these might be challenged by ethical or moral understandings of food production and consumption practices?\nWhat might a revolutionised food system look like? Are there other players that can help change the status quo?

SUMMARY:Fifth BSA Food Study Group Conference: Food & Society 2017
DESCRIPTION:**FINAL CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Less than 1 week left until deadline! ** \nhttps://www.britsoc.co.uk/events/key-bsa-events/fifth-bsa-food-study-group-conference-food-society-2017/ \nConfirmed keynotes – see biographies below: \nCorinna Hawkes\, Professor of Food Policy\, Director\, Centre for Food Policy\, City\, University of London\, UK A people-centred approach to the study of food: a policy perspective. \nAnthony Winson\, Professor of Sociology\, University of Guelph\, Ontario\, Canada From Wide Angle to Zoom:  Critical Perspectives with the Food Lens. \n  \nCALL FOR ABSTRACTS \n— What is food? And how should we study it? — \nSpanning the social sciences\, humanities and beyond as well as public health and nutrition\, food is established as a prominent topic of interest for research. It is also of significant relevance to those outside the academy\, including governments\, UN agencies\, NGOs\, community groups and the private sector\, particularly in the light of recent political events. Growing numbers of scholars and students with an interest in food and food-related issues have contributed not only to the emergence and expansion of sub-disciplines dedicated to the study of food – e.g. the sociology of food\, the anthropology of food\, food history\, food economics\, the geography of food – but also to the effervescence of an inter-disciplinary ‘food studies’. In building this body of work\, researchers within and across these disciplines and sub-disciplines also contribute important knowledge to policy-makers and practitioners. \nHowever\, ‘food’ may not mean the same thing to all those who study or seek to influence the practices and systems which produce\, sustain and consume it. Depending on disciplinary frameworks\, epistemologies and domains of practice\, ‘food’ connotes different objects of study\, requiring different framings and measurement. For some\, ‘food’ is a material substance\, or a source of nutrients and means of avoiding disease. For others\, it is a commodity for economic exchange\, or the basis of livelihoods\, or the object of policy. For others still\, ‘food’ is a language through which to express relationships\, whether affinities or differences. These ‘false cognates’ may deceive us into thinking that we are addressing the same ‘thing’ when\, in fact\, we are not. Yet food remains central not only to global systems and local lives\, but is a fascinating and challenging area of study precisely because it connects with so many other urgent issues; tracing these connections entails transgressing boundaries not only across different domains of human experience\, but also across disciplines\, requiring engagement with a range of theoretical paradigms and methodologies. \nThe conference thus poses the questions: what do we mean by ‘food’\, how do we study it and to what end? Key themes are: How is ‘food’ conceptualised and operationalised within particular disciplinary and methodological frameworks? How is it understood in relation to its entanglement with other materials\, meanings and practices? Should we ‘study up’ or ‘study down’? What are the implications of the ways in which food is defined for contributing to knowledge\, practice and informing policy? \nWe seek to enrich our conversations about food and to transcend boundaries\, as well as pause to consider what\, exactly\, we are talking about. Only then can we learn from each other how better to study ‘food’ and better inform policy and practice. To this end\, we invite proposals for papers that not only present studies of food-related issues\, but that reflect explicitly on how ‘food’ is delineated as an object of study and how particular theoretical frameworks and/or methods of analysis may be used to explore and understand its significance. \nThe committee intends to organise papers into thematic sessions that include presenters from different disciplines or sectors to facilitate and stimulate reflection and discussion about how and why issues in ‘food’ are conceived\, studied and applied. Themes may include but are not limited to: \n–          Agriculture\, trade and food retail \n–          Processing and food technologies – traditional and modern \n–          Food justice\, labour and livelihoods \n–          Food and cultural heritage \n–          Consumption and social relations \n–          Methods for researching food and what should we study \n–          Risks and food safety \n–          Interventions and policies \nWe invite abstracts of up to 300 words for oral papers (lasting 20 minutes with 10 minutes to follow for questions) and for posters. As in previous years a prize will be awarded for the poster which delegates agree best communicates its aims\, methods\, findings and conclusions. Following the successful trial of a new format at the previous conference\, and taking feedback into account\, oral presentations may also include Pecha Kucha* style sessions and roundtable presentations. Please indicate your preferred format when you submit. \nWe also invite abstracts for symposia with a maximum of three connected papers\, of relevance to the conference theme\, to run in parallel with presented papers. We would be particularly interested to receive proposals which address methodological challenges in studying ‘food’.  All proposals for symposia should be emailed to the BSA Events team events@britsoc.org.uk with subject ‘BSA Food Study Group Conference – Special Event’. \nSpecial event submission deadline: 12 February 2017 and abstract submission deadline: 19 February 2017. \nSubmit your abstract at: https://portal.britsoc.co.uk/public/abstract/eventAbstract.aspx?id=EVT10611 \nPlease direct any academic enquiries to the Food Study Group co-convenors:  Rebecca O’Connell: rebecca.oconnell@ucl.ac.uk\, Hannah Lambie-Mumford: h.lambie-mumford@sheffield.ac.uk and Andrea Tonner: a.tonner@strath.ac.uk \nFor administrative issues please contact the BSA Events Team: events@britsoc.org.uk \n*A 20-slide presentation in which each slide lasts 20 seconds \n— Registration Rates — \nBSA Member Registration: £120 \nFood Study Group Member Registration: £140 Non Member Registration: £180 Concessionary Member Registration: £100 Food Study Group Concessionary Member Registration: £120 Concessionary Non Member Registration: £140 \nIf you/your organisation cannot afford to pay the conference fee\, please\, in addition to your abstract\, submit a covering letter to Dr Elizabeth Hull (eh17@soas.ac.uk) explaining your circumstances and what you hope to both gain and contribute.

SUMMARY:ACCESS TO LAND IN EUROPE: LEARNING FROM THE FIELD
DESCRIPTION:Seminar 19th and 20th June and Conference 21st June – Brussels\nEuropeans need farmers to produce good food\, feed our communities\, foster rural development and take good care of our environment. But growing evidence from farmers\, rural development organisations and experts shows that access to land is a significant obstacle for farmers in Europe\, as well as being the primary obstacle to entering farming. \nMeanwhile\, social innovations are emerging throughout Europe to support farmers in securing land to enter farming or to consolidate their farm businesses. Over the past few years\, organisations – coming together in the Access to land network – have mapped good practices and explored core issues related to access to land. These issues include how to open up land for new entrants\, the role of local authorities\, and available legal tools for land tenure and stewardship. \nFor two days\, on 19-20 June\, practitioners from across Europe will meet to share experience and analyses about issues and practical solutions to improve access to land for agroecological farmers. \nIn complement\, on 21 June\, a public conference will focus on drawing lessons and discussing policy levers with other civil society organisations\, experts and policy-makers. \nPlease find the program here: www.accesstoland.eu/-Conference- \nSEMINAR – ACCESS TO LAND IN EUROPE: LEARNING FROM THE FIELD\nDate: 19th & 20th June 2017Venue: Chant d’Oiseau Training Centre\, Avenue des Franciscains 3A\, Brussels \nDuring this seminar\, top experts from all over Europe gather to share the results of their search for best practices that can overcome the obstacles to access to land. \nWe tailored the seminar for a wide panel of actors ranging from policy makers\, members of an organisation who manage access to land\, social entrepreneurs who wish to set up a new access to land initiative in their country\, researchers or citizens interested in the subject. \nCONFERENCE – SOLUTIONS AND POLICIES FOR ACCESS TO LAND IN EUROPE\nDate: 21 June 2017Venue: L42\, Rue de la Loi 42\, 1000 Brussels \nAccess to land has been identified as the number one obstacle for the development of agroecological farming in Europe. However\, solutions exist. \nThis conference reflects on the potential policy changes needed to improve conditions for access to land in Europe

SUMMARY:Land for What? network launch and planning meeting
DESCRIPTION:This meeting will bring together people who are enthusiastic about creating a network of groups and individuals who are working on land issues in the UK. We’ll share some ideas about how we think this network might work but we are also open to suggestions. The coalition who organised the conference will not be running this network – instead it will be a collaboration of the people who step forward at the meeting. \nThis event won’t be about hearing from speakers\, it will be about the roles each of us can play in developing this network. We’re looking for people who want to take an active role in guiding and organising the development of Land for What (or whatever name it takes on). \nTo find out more and see the proposed agenda\, check out the new eventbrite page. Please sign up if you want to get involved in organising the next part of this journey. \nHope to see you on the 10th! \nYou can also now see videos from the November conference on our youtube channel.

SUMMARY:REDICLAIM project (Understanding the impact of legislation on "reduction of disease risk" claims on food and drinks) webinar
DESCRIPTION:In 2006\, the European Regulation on nutrition and health claims on foods (Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation (NHCR): European Commission No. 1924/2006) established\, for the first time\, a common framework for the regulation of such claims across the European Union (EU). \nThe opportunities for product innovation arising from this new legislation combined with protection of consumer interest in respect of controlling misleading advertising\, while at the same time promoting public health\, are noteworthy. But such opportunities needed to be evaluated against the burden on industry to undertake significant research activity into these claims and to present a scientific substantiation to satisfy the procedure for approval. \nThe EU-funded REDICLAIM project considered these issues in relation to ‘reduction of disease risk’ claims. As the project comes to an end\, this webinar will present the project findings and give you the opportunity to ask questions of our expert speakers. \nThe session will include: \n\nAn introduction to the REDICLAIM project\nEnsuring successful health claim applications\nHealth claims as promoters of new innovative food products?\nThe NHCR and issues with the regulatory framework\nModelling to predict the health and economic impact of ‘reduction in disease risk claims’\n\nHow to Join our webinar: \n\nPlease register for the REDICLAIM Webinar on Thursday the 6th of April 2017 at 2pm GMT/3pm CET      at:http://www.focusbiz.co.uk/live/rediclaim/06thapril2017/\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.\n\n  \nHow to Join our mailing list: \nPlease sign up here to receive email updates about the publication of the REDICLAIM project recommendations and further papers\, reports and presentations: http://eepurl.com/cGHCc1 \n  \nPlease feel free to forward this invitation to anyone who you feel might be interested in the webinar.

SUMMARY:The Case For Measuring UK Household Food-Insecurity
DESCRIPTION:The Food Foundation in partnership with the Food Research Collaboration\, Sustain\, and the Sociology Department of Oxford University are holding an interactive session exploring why\, and how\, household food insecurity could be measured in the UK \nThe session is being run between 18:30 and 20:00 on Tuesday 8th of November in Committee Room 9 of the Palace of Westminster as part of the ESRC Festival of Science. \nRecent analyses from the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations suggests 8.4 million people live in food insecure households in the UK and are unable to secure enough food of sufficient quality and quantity to stay healthy and participate fully in society.  However\, there are currently no routine measurements of food insecurity in the UK. An absence of regular data collection means the true magnitude of the problem remains hidden. \nThis session is being convened to build the case for measurement amongst the wider academic and policy community\, and the general public.  We will explore\, through plenary discussion\, the public policy case for quantifying levels of food insecurity\, and showcase a number of measurement tools which could readily be applied in the UK.  The session will also explore how complimentary research techniques can help amplify the voices of the food insecure in the public policy process. \nThe links between food security indicators and other forms of poverty measurements – such as childhood poverty indicators and fuel poverty – will be discussed\, as will the UK’s commitment to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.  Please do circulate this event to colleagues and peers involved in broader poverty work in addition to food policy. \nThe session will close with an interactive session\, where guests will be introduced to a number of groups and campaigns currently thinking about the measurement and alleviation of food insecurity. \nPlease RSVP to the event here.
