MODULE CONTENT - An Introduction to Discourses and Practices in Sustainable Food and Food Secuirty
This module starts by providing an overview of the place of food within (mainly Western/European/UK) society, including how the supply of (sustainable) food has been conceptualised and problematised within the literature. The reasons behind the growing significance of, and debates about, 'food security' as an issue are then considered, as well as an examination of the competing interpretations of how it should best be achieved. This includes considering concepts such as food sovereignty and food rights, and the relationship between them and food security. Global food networks, in the form of supermarkets, are then briefly outlined, including issues of food safety, trade liberalisation and private regulation, before both the theory and practice of food system localisation are examined in some detail. The module also explores what a sustainable diet might involve, including issues such as the implications of eating a meat-based diet as opposed to a more vegetarian-based diet, and the reduction of waste. Throughout the module, students will be expected to keep a food diary, which will form part of the assessment.

Metody hodnocení
(i) Students need to attend all the classes in the course. A register will be taken.
(ii) Students will need to complete and auto-ethnographic assignment. This will take the form of a food diary in which all food and drink purchases and consumption need to be recorded for the period of the course. In the final session, a 10 minute verbal presentation linked to the diary will be given in class by each student, with opportunities for questioning. Full instructions about how to keep the diary will be given in the first session.
