Futures and histories collide! Is it science fiction? time travel? Nope, it’s Food Studies!

Your reading pleasure this weekend = the future of food + a HISTORY of the future of food. (That is, a book review plus a companion media piece, as curated by us…)

Our first featured future is Sarah J. Martin’s review of The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food, in which chef Dan Barber imagines a meal in which taste and sustainability come together on a single plate. (CFS Vol. 1 No. 2 [2014]): https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v1i2.47

Focusing on future backwards is Meals to Come: A History of the Future of Food, by Warren Belasco. While Barber projects forwards, Belasco looks at how past forecasters proposed futures over the last two hundred years. How often do we repeat ourselves?

Food Futures winter market

We were at the Food Futures winter market today, talking to members of the public about repairing items and offering to let them make some festive decorations from some discarded maps and laser cut baubles. #foodfutures #closingloops

Shwmae! I am a gardener, #apple aficionado, Christian, father to two young whipsnaps and writer.

I will post about Wales' #foodhistory #hanesbwyd #agriculture and related subtopics like #orchards #foodfutures and #cawl

Also working my way towards a focus on #landscape #history in Wales and the relevance of that to #farming and #rewilding

My books on Wales' rich apple heritage were the niche bestseller of 2018 and now accompanied by 'Welsh Food Stories' (2022)!
