Sustainable diet perceptions among Canadian young adults: A qualitative study
Purpose Canadian diets are unsustainable, and perceptions of sustainable diets among Canadians are not well-understood. The purpose of this study was therefore to explore perceptions of sustainable diets among Canadians. Design/methodology/approach The study sample comprised 30 Canadians aged 18–35 years (33% male; 3% gender diverse, 27% rural and 27% who did not attend university) who were recruited using online advertisements, posters, snowball…
Feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of “Supper Heroes”, a family-based sustainable diet intervention
The primary objective of this research was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of "Supper Heroes", a superhero-themed mobile health (mHealth) intervention designed to reduce food waste and increase plant-based protein food intake among families with children aged 9-14 in Ontario, Canada. A single arm, pre-post mixed methods design was used to evaluate the intervention. The 4-month mHealth intervention included 7 online modules with info…
Our faces change, but it's always the same story’: Crises of social reproduction among informal recyclers in Buenos Aires, Argentina
This paper investigates the gendered dynamics of informal recycling in Buenos Aires, Argentina at a moment of transition in the governance of this work. I argue that there is a strong gender binary apparent in this type of informal work, and that the public nature of informal recycling can exacerbate the gendered crisis of social reproduction experienced by many women recyclers through inviting interventions into their work. This research is base…

Mental Health, Geography, and the Academy
The presence of mental health issues in the Western academy is increasingly hard to avoid, as the stress of academic life takes its toll on the mental health of its members and practices of academic knowledge production. This entry addresses why we need to think about mental health, what we know about experiences of mental health in the academy, and what is being done by geographers and others. As a discipline, geography has not been the first to…
Farm-to-fork… and beyond? A call to incorporate food waste into food systems research
Although food waste is gaining attention as an issue of environmental, social, and economic concern, this topic has only been taken up minimally by food scholars, despite its apparent relevance to food systems scholarship. Through a literature scan of nine food systems journals, we identify and characterize all instances of “food waste” and “food loss” mentions. We find that reference to this important topic is growing within food studies but is …
Understanding Motivations for Volunteering in Food Insecurity and Food Upcycling Projects
For non-profit organizations relying on volunteers to operate, investigations into the motivations of volunteerism are critical to attract new volunteers and to support the current ones. This study looked at volunteerism in the not-for-profit project The SEED in Ontario, Canada, which is looking to address food insecurity through a new social enterprise project that will create value-added "upcycled" products from second-grade produce while offer…
Is it food or is it waste? The materiality and relational agency of food waste across the value chain
Food waste has serious economic and environmental repercussions, and there is growing policy attention to this issue in Canada. This study investigates how the material characteristics of wasted food influence its circulation and management in the City of Guelph, Ontario. Based on interviews with informants across the food value chain, we learned that there is a high reliance on systems and techniques to determine when food becomes waste (includi…
Do food donation tax credits for farmers address food loss/waste and food insecurity? A case study from Ontario
To increase donations of nutritious food, Ontario introduced a tax credit for farmers who donate agricultural products to food banks in 2013. This research seeks to investigate the role of Ontario's Food Donation Tax Credit for Farmers in addressing both food loss and waste (FLW) and food insecurity through a case study of fresh produce rescue in Windsor-Essex, Ontario. This research also documents the challenges associated with rescuing fresh pr…
Community-Based Public Art and Gentrification in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver
Traditional art forms and artists have been increasingly enrolled in urban revitalization projects in global cities, contributing to a desirable “creative city” vibe that can lead to the displacement of existing residents. Community-based public art, however, has been seen as a form of grassroots expression and visual dissent in public spaces. This article interrogates the role of community-based public art and artists in processes of gentrificat…
Towards a Framework for Building Community-University Resilience Research Agendas
In this paper, we ask: “How can we scope multiyear, multiscalar community–university collaborations that draw on the university’s diverse resources and contribute to community resilience”? We approach this question by presenting the development and application of the Advancing Collaborative Transdisciplinary Scholarship Framework (the “ACTS Framework”) which we argue has been successful at helping us better understand, foster, and work towards co…
Doubly Engaged Ethnography: Opportunities and Challenges When Working With Vulnerable Communities
Understanding the unique challenges facing vulnerable communities necessitates a scholarly approach that is profoundly embedded in the ethnographic tradition. Undertaking ethnographies of communities and populations facing huge degrees of inequality and abject poverty asks of the researcher to be able to think hard about issues of positionality (what are our multiple subjectivities as insider/outsider, knowledge holder/learner, and so on when int…
Witnessing urban change: Insights from informal recyclers in Vancouver, BC
The perspectives of those most affected by urban change are often understudied, although these voices have the potential to inform academic understandings of the production of gentrified space. The Downtown Eastside (DTES) neighbourhood of Vancouver, BC is undergoing a period of intense redevelopment, raising concerns about the potential displacement of its predominantly low-income residents. In this study, informal recyclers (people who earn inc…
Breaking the silence: A feminist call to action
Key Messages Mental health and wellness are issues of growing concern on North American campuses. A feminist geography perspective reveals that there are cultural, institutional, political, and intersectional factors that impede active engagement with mental health and wellness in the academy. We encourage geographers to consider mental health and wellness as professional development issues of concern to us all
Cultivating an ethic of wellness in Geography
Key Messages There is a crisis of mental health in the academy. This special issue, the first to address this crisis, brings together three bodies of research: geographers' understanding of the relationship between mental health, social space, and material places; mental health initiatives in higher education; and the neoliberalization of the academy. In this introduction we discuss two particular foci: defining the crisis of mental health and we…

Re-Representing the City: Waste and Public Space in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the Late 2000s
This paper investigates a moment of shift in urban neoliberal governance strategies under the purview of a new municipal Chief of Government of Buenos Aires at the end of the 2000s: the introduction of a regime of public space that has had implications for the waste management sector (and particularly informal recyclers or cartoneros). I document government attempts to re-represent the city as a modern, hygienic centre that is receptive to invest…
When Assets are Vulnerabilities: An Assessment of Informal Recyclers’ Livelihood Strategies in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Formalization beckons: A baseline of informal recycling work in Buenos Aires, 2007–2011
The work of Buenos Aires’ cartoneros (informal recyclers) has important environmental and economic repercussions for the city. This paper investigates cartoneros’ working and living conditions, establishing a 2007 baseline for the logistics of informal recycling practice in Buenos Aires and providing a description of the socioeconomic characteristics of these workers at a key moment in time. Under the purview of a new chief of government elected …

It presents a series of financing scenarios based on several potential logistical arrangements. The financial variables investigated include labour costs and honorariums, collection fees, charges for secondary collection, land and equipment costs, and educational programmes. The case study …
