Dynamic food procurement and cross-sectoral tensions: The practical and contractual complexities of digitizing local school food supply
Localising school food procurement has been the subject of international scholarship for several decades, including in the UK, where examples of isolated good practice have emerged. The benefits of local school food are based on three key potentials - sustainable food system transformation, the special market agency of public authorities, and the cultural benefits of localising school meals. A new technological innovation called Dynamic Food Proc…
A co-design framework for natural resource policy making: Insights from tree health and fisheries in the United Kingdom
Environmental and land use policy literature asserts the need for more holistic, participatory and co-designed forms of governance for the sustainable management of natural resources. Co-design is also increasingly recognised by government as a useful approach but is often applied with varying degrees of success. The purpose of this paper is to assess recent examples of policy co-design across three UK case studies focused on tree/woodland manage…

Making the city smart from the grassroots up: The sustainable food networks of Bristol
Gardening cyberspace—social media and hybrid spaces in the creation of food citizenship in the Bristol city-region, UK
This paper conducts a detailed analysis of urban food and online networks in Bristol, UK. In particular, it examines social media postings of grass-roots food networks. Qualitative research identifies and analyses five core themes, from which two dominant discourses emerge. Analysis reinforces the multifunctional nature of city food but moves beyond dominant scholarly pre-occupations with nutrition and physical resources. Instead, the paper posit…

This loopy idea’ an analysis of Ukip’s social media discourse in relation to rurality and climate change
This paper focuses on the way that United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) attempted to communicate its policies and messages about the topic of renewable energy during 2013–2014. Renewable energy is a fruitful topic to consider as it has a strategic importance in the discussion of the future of the UK. The emergent theme from the analysis was not only rurality and renewable energy but the connection of the issue to scepticism about climate chan…

Negotiating the boundary between medicine and consumer culture: Online marketing of nutrigenetic tests
Genomics researchers and policy makers have accused nutrigenetic testing companies--which provide DNA-based nutritional advice online--of misleading the public. The UK and USA regulation of the tests has hinged on whether they are classed as "medical" devices, and alternative regulatory categories for "lifestyle" and less-serious genetic tests have been proposed. This article presents the findings of a qualitative thematic analysis of the webpage…
But it's all true!”: Commercialism and commitment in the discourse of organic food promotion
Debates over food politics provide insight into the convergence of commercial and political discourses. As the organic food market has grown, campaigners and independent producers have faced the dilemma of how far they should promote their cause using standard marketing language. We report on a research project which combined corpus analysis, interviews and focus group discussions to investigate the discourse of organic food promotion in Britain,…

The contribution of organic farming to rural development: An exploration of the socio-economic linkages of organic and non-organic farms in England

From burgers to biodiversity? The McDonaldization of on-farm nature conservation in the UK
The mobilisation of rural identities and the failure of the rural protest movement in the UK, 1996–2001
This paper uses tools developed in political sociology to analyse social movements and political discourse to examine the rise of rural protest movements in the late 1990s. Drawing on documentary evidence and interviews with participants in localised protests, the paper argues that the movements failed to become established because they were unable to form a common sense of identity amongst those living in rural areas. The paper moves from examin…

Fight the Future! How the Contemporary Campaigns of the UK Organic Movement Have Arisen from their Composting of the Past
This paper explores the discourse of the British organic movement and the elements of continuity that stem from the early part of the twentieth century. Using political discourse analysis the paper tracks the emergence of the discourse of organic farming from a shared concern about the soil in the 1930s. These elements are combined in a formal structure in the late 1940s, with the Soil Association being formed. The new Soil Association resolved i…
