Respondents spoke consistently of their desire to create a meaningful educational experience by embedding it in a context of community, a place where people contribute as much to the learning environment as they derive from it. Respondents also strongly believed that education must have a component of social responsibility to be worthwhile. These three areas, community, education, and social responsibility, are all connected and driven by a set of distinct values, not unlike those of respondents' activist predecessors: dislike of authority and hierarchy, appreciation for differences, suspicion of technology, the need for critical thinking, and activist living. Despite their surface similarities to radical students of the 1960s, respondents revealed a more diverse set of issues at the center of their lives, including gender and diversity, gay and lesbian rights, and heightened environmental awareness. The food co-op emerged throughout interviews as a place of prominence in the lives of respondents, reflecting the critical need for a large university to maintain 'places' for its subcultures if it wishes them to thrive.

Special international mobilizations for one particular goal (or a particular set of goals) have taken place several times during the past 50 years. The UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) movement is that latest and perhaps the most politically committed of these initiatives. UN summit declarations and subsequent international activism are beneficial at all levels: as a result of their momentum, policies are enhanced, funds raised, and programs implemented. However, there are sometimes unintended effects at the field level, where great pressure is put on project managers and staff to change approaches, invest money, scale up activities, and get \"visible\" results in a short time. The present case study illustrates such side effects in the context of the FAO Special Program for Food Security (SPFS) in Guatemala.

As with other alternative food movements, non-GMO activists focus on changing individual consumption habits as the best means of altering the practices of food manufacturers and thereby what and how food is produced. In this paper I argue that the increasing use of consumerist tactics reflect the neoliberalization of food activism in the United States – a process that rather than heralding sustainable agricultural and economic futures may reinforce the status quo. Using the emerging non-GMO movement, and the associated market for non-GMO products, I challenge the assumptions that consumer sovereignty and freedom of choice will bring about the small-scale, localized alternatives espoused by activists and scholars in the field. Specifically, I explore three critical limitations of contemporary alternative food politics. First, the neoliberalization of activism shifts the responsibility for social reforms from the state and manufactures to individual consumers, bringing with it important social justice implications. Second, focusing on choice opens new spaces for the profit without seriously threatening contemporary market structures or agro-ecological practices. Third, contemporary consumerist politics focus on eating right not less and thereby provide few alternatives to the current trends towards convenience and processed foods.", "publicationTitle": "Agriculture and Human Values", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "8/2007", "volume": "24", "issue": "4", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "511-522", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Agric Hum Values", "DOI": "10.1007/s10460-007-9083-z", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s10460-007-9083-z", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "0889-048X", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [ "WJD9MTRS" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-04-29T16:17:50Z", "dateModified": "2011-04-29T16:17:50Z" } }, { "key": "ZZD4JCQU", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 38003, "name": "Concordia Food Studies", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/concordia_food_studies", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/38003/items/ZZD4JCQU", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/concordia_food_studies/items/ZZD4JCQU", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 278244, "username": "dszanto", "name": "David Szanto", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/dszanto", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Nabhan", "parsedDate": "2010-09", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "ZZD4JCQU", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Biocultural and Ecogastronomic Restoration: The Renewing America's Food Traditions Alliance", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Gary Paul", "lastName": "Nabhan" } ], "abstractNote": "One of the emerging motivations for community engagement in ecological restoration is the recovery of plant and animal species, subspecies, and stocks historically utilized as foods.

The Renewing America's Food Traditions (RAFT) Alliance is one such collaboration, and it is engaged in identifying and recovering wild foods that have historically been depleted by a variety of pressures. It has identified at least 267 wild species, subspecies, stocks, or ecotypes of place-based foods at risk in North America. Of these, 43 may be broadly classified as wild game (including 12 birds, 20 mammals, and 10 reptiles), 82 as wild-foraged plants, 40 as shellfish, and 103 as fish. Of 267 `place-based heritage foods in the RAFT database, fewer than a dozen have been extirpated as species, subspecies, or populations, but 45 (1 7%) are the subjects of genetic recovery and habitat restoration as noted in previous articles and abstracts featured in this journal. Taking into account all the restoration efforts for place-based foods at risk that have been reported in this journal and in recent oral communications, a minimum of 38% of North America's wild foods at risk may be on the way to recovery at one or more sites.

This contrasts sharply with many environmental \"solutions\" that ask people to make short-term sacrifices in exchange for long-term gain. It also contrasts with the status quo, which insists on the pursuit of immediate ostensible benefits (usually involving some combination of increased material wealth, comfort and convenience) at horrendous long-term expense. To some extent we can try to adjust our strategy in other struggles to offer more immediate benefits, but sometimes we can't or shouldn't. Many injustices are so deeply entrenched that only breaking down monolithic systems of power and inhibiting the ability of the powerful to externalize the consequences of their actions will allow them to be resolved. Nevertheless, it's worth recognizing the power and appeal of activities that align the short- and long-term interests of participants so that doing the right thing makes sense both immediately and in the long run. Recognizing and building campaigns around such actions whenever possible can help us to involve more people and gain momentum.\n\nAnother characteristic of many local food initiatives is the very low barriers to entry for new participants. To buy or eat local food, you don't need to have any special skills or equipment; you don't need to know a lot about history or agriculture; you don't even have to have that much money. Sure, it would be difficult to eat 100 per cent local food, but one of the reasons that these movements are succeeding is you don't have to do that to make a difference or to experience the benefits. In most areas, only a tiny percentage of food is sourced locally. If a city were sourcing two per cent of its food locally, an increase to four per cent would mean a negligible difference in terms of cost or convenience. But such a change would make a huge difference for local agriculture, because it would double the number of farmers who could be supported.\n\nLocal food activism has other reasons for its broad appeal as well. Food is universal common ground: everyone eats. Everyone knows that good food is important. And importantly (and unlike many other struggles), involvement in local food projects is pretty non-threatening - it's relatively low-risk, because for most people it doesn't involve confrontations with power. Of course, confrontations with power do happen all the time: farmers threatened with foreclosure by the bank, community gardeners fighting to prevent their garden plots from being bulldozed and developed, farmers like raw-milk dairy farmer Michael Schmidt who struggle for food autonomy. But people don't have to start there. And when those confrontations do happen, it's usually not perceived as a group of out-of-touch radicals trying to create some pie-in-the-sky utopia.

The term visceral refers to how bodies feel internally - i.e. sensations, moods, states of being - in interrelation with environments/space. The first paper focuses on methods, specifically the author's empirical trials with accessing the visceral realm. Research with SF involved verbal and non verbal communications, all following a 'partnership' approach to research. The paper explores successes and difficulties associated with investigating the 'visceral' realm. It is argued that paying attention to the visceral realm in research not only helps scholars to study how bodily experiences inform social actions but also challenges researchers and research participants to reflect upon, question, and perhaps transform how their own bodies feel the world. The second paper then examines the role of the visceral realm in the development of social movements. It seeks to show how movements can evolve through and generate certain visceral dispositions, and by doing so enable various modes of activism. The paper examines visceral aspects of activist identity within SF in Halifax, Canada, and Berkeley, USA. The paper details what constitutes visceral experiences of SF and expresses the power of the visceral in the development of the movement. The third paper examines issues of social boundaries within social movements, arguing for attention to bodily sensation. The paper demonstrates the possibility of a biosocial approach to boundaries and social difference that takes the visceral realm into account. It argues that as people interact with social aspects of SF, their biological bodies actively respond with unpredictable physiological shifts. These physiological shifts inform how food tastes and more broadly how food-spaces feel. The authors suggest that attentiveness to bodily sensation would enhance the ability of all movements to mobilize a diverse base. Together, the three papers build towards clear conceptual and methodological understandings of visceral geography.", "thesisType": "Dissertation", "university": "Clark University", "place": "", "date": "2009", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "numPages": "", "DOI": "", "ISBN": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://0-csaweb109v.csa.com.mercury.concordia.ca/ids70/view_record.php?id=2&recnum=1&log=from_res&SID=pdhouv26c4m4758an59spr4v05&mark_id=search%3A2%3A0%2C0%2C5", "accessDate": "2011-01-24", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [ "WJD9MTRS" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-04-29T16:16:50Z", "dateModified": "2011-04-29T16:16:50Z" } }, { "key": "MBKE4RHR", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 38003, "name": "Concordia Food Studies", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/concordia_food_studies", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/38003/items/MBKE4RHR", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/concordia_food_studies/items/MBKE4RHR", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 278244, "username": "dszanto", "name": "David Szanto", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/dszanto", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Gottlieb", "parsedDate": "2010", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "MBKE4RHR", "version": 1, "itemType": "book", "title": "Food justice", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Robert", "lastName": "Gottlieb" } ], "abstractNote": "From seed to supermarket, every facet of food production is a potential target for abuse and exploitation.

Meticulously chronicling the genesis of the deteriorating state of food production, distribution, and consumption, Gottlieb, a professor of urban and environmental policy, and Joshi, codirector of the National Farm to School Network, also highlight inspiring and innovative success stories at both grassroots and high-profile levels, and offer attainable examples of ways consumers, farmers, manufacturers, merchants, and legislators can correct system-wide injustices.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2010", "publisher": "MIT Press", "place": "Cambridge Mass.", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "", "ISBN": "9780262072915", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [ "QSBXG3XM" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-04-29T16:16:41Z", "dateModified": "2011-04-29T16:16:41Z" } }, { "key": "VKSFNT7J", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 38003, "name": "Concordia Food Studies", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/concordia_food_studies", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/38003/items/VKSFNT7J", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/concordia_food_studies/items/VKSFNT7J", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 278244, "username": "dszanto", "name": "David Szanto", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/dszanto", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Edwards and Mercer", "parsedDate": "2007", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "VKSFNT7J", "version": 1, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Gleaning from Gluttony: an Australian youth subculture confronts the ethics of waste", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Ferne", "lastName": "Edwards" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "David", "lastName": "Mercer" } ], "abstractNote": "As part of the global 'rights to the city' movement and mounting concern over food waste, results are presented here of an ethnographic study of young people in Australia who choose to glean food from supermarket 'dumpster bins' and open markets primarily for political reasons.

The study explores the emergence of two related subcultures: 'Dumpster Diving' (the act of procuring food from a supermarket dumpster bin for individual consumption) and 'Food Not Bombs' (a global-spanning group who collect left-over food from markets to cook and serve to people on the street).

However, food movements' focus on individual, instead of collective, action has opened food activism to critiques that it is too focused on consumer politics and lacks the force necessary to make substantive changes in the global food system ( e. g., Delind, 2006; Hassanein, 2003). Our examination of the practices of and motivations for food preservation, using survey and interview data, reveals that food preservation presents an opportunity to move alternative food practices away from an individualistic, consumer-oriented politics to a politics based upon relationships to self, others, and the earth, enabling activists to connect more deeply to the goals of food movements. Unlike the dominant discourses of food movements, which encourage an individualistic, consumer-oriented politics, food preservation emphasizes connection and relationships and thus has the potential to subvert the capitalistic logic of the global agro-food industry.", "publicationTitle": "Environmental Communication: A Journal of Nature and Culture", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "9/2010", "volume": "4", "issue": "3", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "301-317", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Env.

Through comparative ethnographic case studies, we analyze the demands for food justice articulated by the Karuk Tribe of California and the West Oakland Food Collaborative. Activists in these communities use an environmental justice frame to address access to healthy food, advocating for a local food system in West Oakland, and for the demolition of Klamath River dams that prevent subsistence fishing. Food justice serves as a theoretical and political bridge between scholarship and activism on sustainable agriculture, food insecurity, and environmental justice. This concept brings the environmental justice emphasis on racially stratified access to environmental benefits to bear on the sustainable agriculture movement's attention to the processes of food production and consumption. Furthermore, we argue that the concept of food justice can help the environmental justice movement move beyond several limitations of their frequent place-based approach and the sustainable agriculture movement to more meaningfully incorporate issues of equity and social justice. Additionally, food justice may help activists and policymakers working on food security to understand the institutionalized nature of denied access to healthy food.", "publicationTitle": "Sociological Inquiry", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "08/2009", "volume": "79", "issue": "3", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "289-305", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1111/j.1475-682X.2009.00291.x", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://doi.wiley.com/10.1111/j.1475-682X.2009.00291.x", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "00380245", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [ "QSBXG3XM" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-04-29T16:16:04Z", "dateModified": "2011-04-29T16:16:04Z" } } ]
