‘Farming is learned in the field, not in the classroom!’
Sustainability in agriculture is as much a policy goal as a cultural and political project: privileging scientific expertise, innovation, and entrepreneurship, it defines what counts as competent farming, sidelining the everyday, hands-on skills that actually sustain it. This paper examines how skills shape sustainability in Southeastern European agriculture, focusing on North Macedonia and Greece. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies, and s…
Toward sustainable attunement? Sensory and embodied experiences of vegans in Iceland
This article deals with the embodied and sensory experiences of individuals in Iceland who have become vegan in recent years. Grounded in ethnology and theoretically informed by embodied and relational approaches to eating, the study employs the concept of attunement to analyze empirical material from in-depth interviews with eighteen vegans aged 21–63 years old, as well as thirty-five written responses from another group of vegans to an online q…
Re-exploring the rural/urban dichotomy
The division between rural and urban values and practices is a classic theme in disciplines such as European ethnology. During the last decades, the urban/rural divide seem to be renegotiated. Traditional, small scale agriculture and food production encapsulates values on display at many dinner tables of the upper middle urban class. This has lead to new business opportunities for rural actors, of which some has tried to take the idea of the farm…
The effect on colorectal cancer incidence and staging with population-based Fobt-screening in Sweden
In the Stockholm-Gotland program, the FIT screening significantly increased the incidence rate in early staged and proximal CRCs as compared to the uninvited, and the significant decrease in the overall CRC incidence post screening was mainly seen in distal, early staged CRCs in women
Participatory ex-ante impact assessment for interactive research and development in agriculture and food systems
Drawing upon literature from both impact assessment of development projects and agricultural research, the aim of this article is to analyse the pilot testing of a new multi-dimensional assessment framework for defining and evaluating the societal impact of agricultural research and corresponding education. The research approach involves an action research effort of pilot testing in three case studies from three different countries. The framework…
In Search of Ethnological Research on Sustainable Foodways
A clash of modernities
This study addresses the enduring problem of the mismatch between firms’ offerings and consumers’ desires. It combines the general framework of modernity theory with the concept of regimes and uses the food area as the empirical context. Our cultural analytical study of consumers’ and firms’ articulation of values of food and meal demonstrates that firms are largely entrenched in the modern era, characterized by rationality, resource efficiency, …

How does Modernity Taste? Tomatoes in the Societal Change from Modernity to Late Modernity
The aim of this article is to discuss how changes in tomato food regulation, production and consumption, can be seen as part of a broader societal change from Modernity to Late Modernity. Based on evidence from the Swedish and European food systems we demonstrate how a system, which has been successfully managing development in food production for several decades by stressing rationality, homogeneity and standardization, is being challenged by a …
Kulturanalys som innovationsverktyg
During the last years "innovation" have been highlighted as a prime target for both universities, regions and companies. The role ethnology and other related disciplines may have in enhancing the innovative capacity have, however, rarely been addressed. The article discusses the possibilities of using cultural analysis as an innovation tool, based on two cases; the creation of a cooperative association for culinary tourism in southeast Sweden, an…
Avoiding bias from aggregate measures of exposure
Background: Sometimes in descriptive epidemiology or in the evaluation of a health intervention policy change, proportions exposed to a risk factor or to an intervention are used as explanatory variables in log-linear regressions for disease incidence or mortality. Aim: To demonstrate how estimates from such models can be substantially inaccurate as estimates of the effect of the risk factor or intervention at individual level. To show how the in…
Postconsumption Sewage Treatment in Environmental Systems Analysis of Foods
Food in general has a high nutrient content, which essentially passes through the human organism and ends up in the sewage system. This high nutrient content in sewage, however, is rarely included in environmental systems analyses of food products or production systems. At the same time, several studies on sewage systems have shown the significance of plant nutrients in sewage system outlets. This means that important environmental effects may be…
Den gröna slaktaren
Even in the older of industries: food production, there is a lot of talk about a new time, rapid changes and selling experiences instead of products. As an example of the new type of "value added products", the article examines the concept "The Green Butcher": a range of cured meats with a low content of fat. The author argues that the green colour partly explains the Green Butcher's success. By being green, it combines the two main experiences t…
