The food industry is destroying us
Canadian Association For Food Studies"I have always admired Dr. Jennifer Clapp’s work and was fortunate to be able to work with her during my master’s and PhD. Dr. Clapp’s ability to see the big picture and identify causal forces that many overlook is always so impressive to me. Dr. Ryan Isakson is also a scholar that I look up to for his ability to skillfully communicate complex dynamics in our food system. Dr. Isakson is also my postdoctoral supervisor, and I should mention that both Dr. Clapp and Dr. Isakson have written a fascinating book on financialization in the food system, entitled Speculative Harvests." - Phoebe Stephens
The food studies landscape is rich with scholars whose work expands our understanding of the world in which we live. Whose work has challenged and guided your own?

Open Source Botanical Garden Creation: Earth Regenerative | Bio-diverse | For The Highest Good
How to create and maintain a botanical garden: Open source botanical garden creation and propagation is something we consider for The Highest Good of All and we believe that any community can make an important contribution to biodiversity and earth-regenerative practices by adopting this botanical garden model. There are rare and endangered plants in every state, bioregion, and country of the world; if local communities become aware of them, and provide for their protection and propagation, many extinctions could be prevented, and the global web of life strengthened. In support of this we will be incorporating the infrastructure for a botanical garden at One Community and open source project-launch blueprinting the process to make it as easy to duplicate as possible so those interested can join us in supporting and regenerating the world’s diverse plant species for all the individual, environmental, and economic benefits a botanical garden can provide.

JP Kollhøj"For this call, we suggest the concept of extreme foods, to explore foodstuffs and eating practices that in certain situations and contexts, for different reasons and in different ways, are pushed to the margins of the mainstream, while yet held symbolically important (Matejowsky 2013). By making what is perceived as extreme elements our focal points when studying food and eating practices (Veeck 2010; Rozin 1999) we wish to make boundaries visible: geographical, cultural, political, emotional and artistic. We move our attention to the verge of things."
