Practicing Food Culture Transitions – Exploring what it takes to change eating and cooking habits, Seminar, Aarhus, DK
Based on the current climate crisis worldwide there is a strong demand for eaters, cooks and consumers to transform their habits towards less meat and more vegetables. The green transition is an imperative that everyone in a society have to participate in. But what does it take to change habits? Which role does food culture have? How do people integrate ideas about the climate crises in their everyday eating and cooking practices? How do ideas about human health and planet health relate in different cultural contexts?
The aim of the workshop is to bring food researchers from the FOCUS network together to collaborate on creating new knowledge about social, cultural and historical aspects of the green transition as a practice related to everyday cooking and eating. The workshop functions as a step towards a panel at the conference Terra Madre in Torino Sept 2024, and also lay the ground for a common publication in Food and Foodways.
