SUMMARY:Food Matters Symposium: a RGS-IBG AC21015 Pre-Conference event
DESCRIPTION:Transport will be provided on the day from Exeter University & St. David’s Train Station\, Exeter – leaving at 10 a.m. and returning for 6 p.m.) \nPanellists:\nProf. Mike Goodman (University of Reading); Dr. Emma Roe (University of Southampton); Dr. Matt Reed (The Countryside and Community Research Institute); Andy Bragg (West Town Farm); Martyn Bragg (Shillingford Organics); and Ashclyst Farm & Dairy. \nGroup Facilitators:\nDr Emma-Jayne Abbots (UWTSD); Dr Mags Adams (University of Salford); and Dr Agatha Herman (University of Reading). \nRationale:\nAlthough food waste is beginning to appear on academic and political agendas there has been a tendency to frame the problem around individual food practices\, and much less work has been done on how food becomes framed as waste at other nodes within food systems. Through employing a mixture of panel sessions\, provocations\, hands on sessions and group work\, this symposium will bring together academics\, food producers\, food retailers and food activists in order to approach the problem of food waste. We hope this symposium will enable a collaborative process of agenda setting for future research into food waste\, food knowledges and food practices. \nAbstract:\nFood matters are increasingly contested as lively materials that shape issues around human health and wellbeing as well as impacting on ecosystems through their production\, consumption and disposal. Food materials decay rendering food inedible. Food material can be seen as unknown\, unfamiliar and undesirable for consumption. Food matters can contain anxieties over provenance\, authenticity and wider material impacts on our ecosystems and our bodies. However solutions to knowing food\, addressing food waste and increasing access to fresh food are contested. Examples of this include the use of waste food to address issues of food poverty\, processing technologies precluding edible food from reaching the consumer\, or food labelling inhibiting edible food from being consumed. Through this participatory event we seek to explore these issues by not only generating debate for academic research\, but by also getting our hands on food matters\, and engaging with local producers’ food stories and food knowledges. By incorporating practical hands- on sessions to produce our lunch with ‘waste’ food and hearing on-the-ground experiences of producers and activists\, we seek to ground academic debate on production- consumption-waste pathways with the matter of food itself\, and to co-create knowledges for ongoing research collaboration. \nA symposium dinner will be held in the evening at a venue to be confirmed. \nOrganised in collaboration with:\nLove Local Food\, West Town Farm\, OrganicARTS\, Ashclyst Farm & Dairy\, Shillingford Farm. With support from the Nature\, Materialities & Biopolitics (NaMBio) research group of the Department of Geography in the University of Exeter\, the Social & Cultural Geography Research Group of the Royal Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers (SCGRG RGS-IBG)\, the South-West Doctoral Centre of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC SWDTC)\, and the Catalyst Project at the University of Exeter. \nMore Info and Event Booking

SUMMARY:Food for Thought: An interdisciplinary PhD Colloquim - Call for papers
DESCRIPTION:By virtue of its sustaining and vital nature\, food is of central importance to our livelihoods\, yet the processes by which food reaches our table and its journey beyond are vastly complex. The food system is a constellation of social and material processes and structures\, many of which are imbued with cultural meaning. As such it constitutes a critical site of everyday human experience and research that brings together the theoretical and the material. \nAbout the Event \nWe are holding an interdisciplinary PhD colloquium\, to discuss current issues in the food system and attempt to engage with these issues within and beyond the sphere of academia. It will bring together a wide range of academic and civil society actors engaged in the food system\, to share the material joys of food as well as discuss emerging and sometimes controversial issues to do with the security\, safety and resilience of the UK food system\, which remains embedded in a global context. \nThe colloquium will be structured around two key themes; \n\nFood Production and Consumption: Exploring the realities of food production and consumption and imagining alternatives\nFood Politics\, Policies and Cultures: Exploring claims\, controversies\, positions\, interests and values connected with food\n\nFood as a topic crosses many disciplines encompassing a range of interests and perspectives; consequently we extend this invitation broadly. The two themes around which the day will be structured accommodate numerous points of view and we encourage PhD students studying food within in a range of subject areas to submit an abstract for a paper presentation. As well as presentations from PhD students the event will engage participants in the material elements of food culminating in an evening feast. \nThe event will take place on the 12-13th November in and around Colchester\, Essex. \nGuidelines on submission: \n\nDeadline for submission of abstracts: 4th September\, 2015.\nAbstracts should be 500 words maximum\, saved as a word document (no pdfs please) and include affiliation and contact details for author(s).\nPlease send abstracts to David Watson\, djwats[@]essex.ac.uk\nAuthors will be notified of the outcome of their submission by 18th September 2015 at the latest.\n\nAbout the organisers \nThe event is being organised by a small group of PhD students and academics already researching food issues at the University of Essex.

SUMMARY:Sweetness\, social norms and schools: factors influencing children and young people's food and drink practices
DESCRIPTION:Childhood obesity is a major public health concern and sugar consumption is believed to be a significant contributing factor. Potential interventions include: restrictions on the marketing of certain foods to children; the introduction of a ‘sugar tax’; and prohibiting the sale of caffeinated energy drinks to under-18s. But will any of these ‘solutions’ actually work? This seminar will attempt to explore this complex issue using insights from three recently completed studies: \nThe social and economic context for young people’s food and drink purchasing in and around secondary schools – Dr Wendy Wills\, University of Hertfordshire \nEnergy drinks: hype or hyper? A mixed methods study on children and young people’s consumption of energy drinks – Dr Shelina Visram\, Durham University \nIs a sugar tax likely to be feasible\, acceptable and effective in the UK context? – Dr Victoria McGowan\, Teesside University \nLunch to be provided. Book now\, places are limited.

SUMMARY:Mainstreaming Ethical Consumption: Challenges\, risks and opportunities
DESCRIPTION:The ethical market is growing\, but how can it break out of its traditional niche?\nThe Ethical Consumer conference for 2015 will bring together leaders in their field to help develop thinking on how producers\, retailers and consumers need to evolve to meet the demands of the mainstream. \nIn addition to bringing delegates up to speed on the state of the ethical market and looking at future trends\, they will be hosting lively discussions on: \nThe big ethical consumer issues of the day.\nReducing consumption.\nInnovative campaigning business.\nChallenges and opportunities for ethical labelling. \nThere will be a wide variety of organisations taking part including the Fairtrade Foundation\, the Forest Stewardship Council\, Triodos and Fairphone with more to be confirmed. \nBook your ticket

SUMMARY:Governing Food Policy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Brighton and Sussex Medical School\, Room 2.10 – University of Sussex campus\, Falmer\n\nThis workshop sees the launch of a new Food Policy and Governance special interest group (SIG) hosted by BSUFN. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the broad topic of governing food policy in the context of work being undertaken by BSUFN members. Food policy is considered broadly as any policy of an organisation or governing institution which is related to food. Discussion among workshop participants aims to inform any areas of interest and priorities for activities and collaboration within the Food Policy and Governance SIG and BSUFN more broadly.\n\nThe workshop will centre on a series of questions to provoke discussion but these questions should not be considered to be exhaustive and other related topics for discussion are welcomed.\n\n\nIn what ways are local\, national\, and global food policies and priorities interlinked?\nDoes existing local\, national\, and international food policy reflect the needs and priorities of society?\nWhich stakeholders currently influence the production of food policy?\nThrough what means can society engage with and influence the production of food policy? Is society currently successful in this?\nIn what ways could BSUFN interact with food policy research\, governance\, and societal engagement?\n\n\nThe workshop is kindly supported by SPRU (Science Policy Research Unit)\, University of Sussex.\nSessions will be structured as ‘quick fire’ introductions followed by a period of open discussion among workshop participants. Speakers will each be given ten minutes to introduce a topic concerning food policy within their area of interest.\n\n\nThe detailed programme is available on the BSUFN website here: http://bsufn.com/events/governing-food-policy-workshop/\n\n\nPlease contact food.network@sussex.ac.uk if you would like to attend.
