Food matters and materialities
This special issue comes out of a 3-day international conference hosted at Carleton University (located on the traditional, unceded territories of the Algonquin nation (Ottawa, Canada)) in September 2021.The event took place online, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and brought together an interdisciplinary group of established academics, emerging scholars, post-doctoral researchers and graduate students from various parts of the world, as w…
Healthy” food configurations
In this article, we delve into the contexts, knowledge and power relations that lead to the emergence of what we call "healthy" food configurations. These configurations are the result of particular arrangements of realms of practices, sets of knowledge, actors, events, institutions, and more that contribute to the production of various understandings and ways of approaching "healthy" food. Mobilizing a cultural studies approach and theoretical f…

Modularity in Intersectoral Research/Action Collaborations for Food Systems Transformation
How can academics and community practitioners better collaborate to overcome the existing barriers? What role can intersectoral research collaboratives play in supporting, enhancing, and sustaining the impact of community-engaged research? In response to these broad questions, this paper shares insights from the Food: Locally Embedded, Globally Engaged (FLEdGE) community-engaged research network, a collaborative, interdisciplinary group of schola…
What's in a name? Challenging the commodification of pollination through the diverse economies of 'Bee Cities
One million species are threatened with extinction globally,including more than half of the native bee species in North America. In Canada,as of July 2020, 42 municipalities have signed a resolution to commit to the standards of the Bee City Canada program which includes creating and enhancing pollinator habitat, along with celebrating and raising awareness about pollinators in their communities. Our central argument is that the commodification o…
Serving up food studies online
Over the past decade, the popularity of food scholarship has led to an expansion of online food studies courses and programs. This push for online course offerings has been escalated due to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. To date, much of the field has focused on examining the global concentration and integration of corporate food systems, often described as a “food from nowhere” regime. In contrast, the study of civil society organizations …
The Digital Divide and How It Matters for Canadian Food System Equity
Policy discussions have raised concerns about how big data are used and who has knowledge about the ways in which they are used. These discussions, however, have largely ignored the role that digitization plays in agriculture. Consequently, the digitization of agriculture is unfolding with very little regulatory intervention. Drawing on ongoing research, this article argues that this omission may be critical, and suggests how it can be considered…
The Canadian family farm, in literature and in practice
Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That!”
Background Social media can be powerful tools for rallying support for a social cause, political mobilization, and social commentary. They can also greatly contribute to incendiary discourses and social stereotypes—often through memes. This article explores the case of one American, known by the moniker of “Sweet Brown,” whose interview about a local fire made her an overnight celebrity in 2012.Analysis A frame analysis of her portrayals in legac…
Seal Hunts in Canada and on Twitter
Background In 2014, a Twitter discussion of seal hunting, using the hashtag #sealfie, spurred a digital conflict between two rights movements—Indigenous rights in Canada and animal rights. This digital controversy touches on race, class, and geography.Analysis The hashtag’s life on Twitter obscures the two movements’ shared challenges: the undeniably neoliberal context consisting of ongoing economic struggles in northern and remote communities, a…
‘Liking and Sharing’ the stigmatization of poverty and social welfare
Internet memes play an important role in the reproduction, reinforcement and circulation of social stereotypes, including about those who live in poverty. Due to the vast reach and increasing popularity of various social media platforms, these memes can reach a potentially enormous audience; when an image goes ‘viral,’ its claims are made more powerful every time it is shared or reposted. In this paper we investigate the relationship between Inte…
Big Data in food and agriculture
Farming is undergoing a digital revolution. Our existing review of current Big Data applications in the agri-food sector has revealed several collection and analytics tools that may have implications for relationships of power between players in the food system (e.g. between farmers and large corporations). For example, Who retains ownership of the data generated by applications like Monsanto Corproation's Weed I.D. "app"? Are there privacy impli…

An accessible and well-organized book, Framing Farming offers two key contributions. The first, of interest to communication scholars and a wide range of social movements, is Freeman’s thorough ana
Illicit food
Food economies that take place informally or ‘under the table’ can offer interesting insights into relationships that people have with their food, and with social and institutional frameworks that shape their food systems. Relying on data from 14 in-depth interviews conducted in Nova Scotia in 2013, this paper interrogates the tensions between everyday eating practices and food safety regulations. Specifically, I examine how informal economic act…
Seeking common ground for food system transformation
While theoretically the terms food sovereignty and food security are often very differently nuanced, in practice they commonly provide valuable and complementary foundations for food system transformation. Our goal is to illuminate spaces where food is/has been a lever for change through a combination of food security and food sovereignty initiatives that resulted in shifts with the potential for structural transformation. We provide examples fro…
Food Insecurity and Participation
The Nova Scotia Participatory Food Costing Project uses participatory action research to collect data on the cost and affordability of food and involves those who are directly affected by food insecurity. More than a decade of this work has also yielded qualitative evaluation data that illustrates the project participants' experience with the project and with food (in)security more generally. The data are characterized by ample evidence of partic…
European parliaments under scrutiny
Hunting and Environmentalism
This work examined some assumptions that underpin the conflict between hunters and anti-hunting movement. The moral contradictions of anti-hunting activism are positioned in the complex context of consumer culture, managed environmental protection, and industrial food production. The assumption that environmental groups are by definition opposed to hunting is investigated. Given that both hunters and environmental groups are interested in land co…
