Possibilities for decolonizing food planning
In this paper, we invite readers to engage with different possibilities for relating to the world and to food by imagining and enacting future food systems rooted in relational ontologies and interrupting the ontological dominance of settler-colonial food systems. We outline a framework that supports individuals, communities, and organizations to unlearn and disinvest from a Eurocentric agrifood paradigm that requires violence and oppression, and…
The politics of protection
Farmland conflicts in Richmond, BC reveal how municipal planning shapes dissent through consensus governance and technical planning tools. • Using radical-agonistic planning theory, the study shows how competing visions of agriculture are selectively integrated to shape legitimacy. • Agricultural planning institutionalizes, translating political contestation into consultation and manageable outcomes
Advancing basic income as a policy tool for food systems sustainability
Reflecting on Covid-19 for integrated perspectives on local and regional food systems vulnerabilities
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted multiple vulnerabilities and issues around local and regional food systems, presenting valuable opportunities to reflect on these issues and lessons on how to increase local/regional resilience. Using the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) in Canada as a case study, this research employs integrated planning perspectives, incorporating comprehensive-systems, regional, place-based, and temporal consideratio…
Meals in the melting-pot
Changes in diets and food practices have implications for personal and planetary health. As these implications have become more apparent, dietary change interventions that seek to promote healthy and sustainable transitions have proliferated, and the processes and drivers of dietary change have come under increasing scrutiny. In particular, dietary acculturation has been recognised as a driver of dietary change in the context of immigration to ex…
Towards an equity competency model for sustainable food systems education programs
Addressing social inequities has been recognized as foundational to transforming food systems. Activists and scholars have critiqued food movements as lacking an orientation towards addressing issues of social justice. To address issues of inequity, sustainable food systems education (SFSE) programs will have to increase students’ equity-related capabilities. Our first objective in this paper is to determine the extent to which SFSE programs in t…
Risk and responsibility in the corporate food regime
The COVID-19 pandemic has focused renewed public attention on the risks and harms generated by a globalized, industrialized, and corporatized food system. This crisis reinvigorates the need for a research agenda that identifies compelling ways of holding key actors in the corporate food regime accountable for creating and profiting from systemic risk in the food system. We draw upon theoretical conceptions of "risk," "rights," and "(ir)responsibi…
