Associating Dietary Sustainability with Health: A Focus on General and Central Adiposity
This study aims to explore the relationship between the Diet Sustainability Score (DSS) and health outcomes, specifically body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Using data from 2287 Portuguese adults in the National Food, Nutrition, and Physical Activity Survey (IAN-AF 2015-2016), DSS was calculated based on four dimensions: health-related nutritional attributes, environmental impact, economic affordability, and sociocultural acc…
Metaphor, Sustainability, Transformation: Transdisciplinary Perspectives
How food policies emerge: The pivotal role of policy entrepreneurs as brokers and bridges of people and ideas
Food Security
Food security has become an increasingly important, but contested, term since the global food price spike of 2008. Ongoing price volatility, linked to a range of causal drivers, has raised the stakes in formulating solutions to feeding a world that will number 9.7 billion people by 2050. In contrast to those who favor treating food security as a scientific problem requiring technical solutions that lead to greater food production are those who pr…
Food Security
Food security has become an increasingly important, but contested, term since the global food price spike of 2008. Ongoing price volatility, linked to a range of causal drivers, has raised the stakes in formulating solutions to feeding a world of 9 billion by 2050. In contrast to those who favor treating food security as a scientific problem requiring technical solutions that lead to greater output are those who promote food sovereignty and a rig…
A retrospective public health analysis of the Republic of Ireland's Food Harvest 2020 strategy: Absence, avoidance and business as usual
The concept of an Ecological Approach to health and including Health in All Policies warrants inter-sectoral and transdisciplinary collaboration to improve health determinants and reduce health inequities. Agriculture policies, which greatly influence food production and its environmental impacts as well as food availability and dietary consumption, are therefore of interest to public health. Increasing rates of non-communicable diseases linked t…
A thematic review of life cycle assessment (LCA) applied to pig production
Food words: Essays in Culinary Culture
This book derives – alongside a range of other outputs – from work undertaken by Jackson and collaborators under the ERC-funded ‘Consumer culture in an “age of anxiety”’ research project. This is n
Food security, food sovereignty and the special rapporteur: Shaping food policy discourse through realising the right to food
Over the past 6 years, the United Nations special rapporteur on the right to food, Olivier De Schutter, has vigorously defended the case for small-scale and sustainable farming and has helped to establish the political legitimacy of food sovereignty in high-level expert fora. This commentary offers brief reflections on De Schutter’s contribution focusing on the welcome shift of emphasis from food to nutritional security as well as his strong supp…
The transition movement and food sovereignty: From local resilience to global engagement in food system transformation
The emergence of grassroots social movements variously preoccupied with a range of external threats, such as diminishing supplies of fossil energy or climate change, has led to increased interest in the production of local food. Drawing upon the notion of cognitive praxis, this article utilises transition as a trajectory guided by an overarching cosmology that brings together a broad social movement seeking a more resilient future. This ‘grand na…
Environment and Food: The Author's Response
The interconnected challenges for food security from a food regimes perspective: Energy, climate and malconsumption
Environment and Food
This timely book provides a thorough introduction to the inter-relationship of food and the environment. Its primary purpose is to bring to our attention the multiplicity of linkages and interconnections between what we eat and how this impacts on the earth's resources. Having a better idea of the consequences of our food choices might encourage us to develop more sustainable practices of production and consumption in the decades ahead. Although …
Social embeddedness and relations of regard
Global Environmental Change and Global Inequality: North/South Perspectives
Global environmental change (GEC) carries serious implications for developing countries and for North/South relations. The article argues that global inequalities need to be understood against the background of structural adjustment and indebtedness that characterized the 1980s. Environmental policy priorities are largely concerned with livelihood sustainability in the South, rather than the longer-term risks usually associated with GEC. However,…
