(Alternative) food consumption practices in Central and Eastern Europe: An integrative critical literature review
Research on food consumption practices in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has grown significantly over the last two decades, documenting the region’s diverse food practices. By focusing on the region’s distinct history and socio-cultural dynamics, this body of work enriches global food studies scholarship and increasingly challenges dominant narratives surrounding alternative food networks (AFNs), which are primarily based on empirical and theor…
On Babushkas and Postcapitalism: Theorising Diverse Economies from the Global East
As transformative visions for more just and sustainable societies multiply around the globe, the Diverse and Community Economies approach presents one of the most influential strategies to advance postcapitalist visions. In this paper, we contribute to this project based on our research and activism in the Global East, intended here as Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. We argue that engaging with the Global East is not only …
Garden time and market time: Finding seasonality in diverse food economies
The end of postsocialism (as we knew it): Diverse economies and the East
This paper brings together two streams of literature which rarely enter into conversation: diverse economies scholarship and critical readings of postsocialism.

Firstly, we call for attention to the postsocialist East as fertile ground for the study of diverse economies. S…
From coping strategy to hopeful everyday practice: Changing interpretations of food self-provisioning
While alternative food networks (AFNs) have become the leading conceptualisation of sustainable food systems, vibrant scholarship on food self-provisioning (FSP) in Central and Eastern Europe has remained confined to the geopolitical region it investigates. This article brings these two bodies of thought closer together in two steps. First, we trace four framings of FSP deployed over the last three decades-coping strategy, cultural practice, hobb…
