"food issues are not always about food. The issues are very interlinked."

Useful reflections here on how it is impossible to separate injustices in #FoodSystems from broader systemic barriers & challenges - including barriers preventing more BIPOC people being in academia & publishing

At a meeting of the Sustainable Agri-Food System Research Group @bristoluni.bsky.social

Guy Poppy highlights the environment impacts of food, but emphasises not to demonise farmers.

Instead lets find a shared vision, reallocate subsidies more effectively & use joined up #foodsystems approaches

Great new research from Damien Maye.

Inspired today at the @britsoci.bsky.social #NewMaterialism conference

Amazing artworks by Julian Burton (Delta 7): a diffractive montage portraying detrimental quirks in our health system

What are the affects of 'labelling' people as having mental ill health?

& who gets to label?

Great #FoodDemocracy work ongoing in the UK.

Citizens who engaged made it clear they want change, including more accountability, fairness, and healthy sustainable food for all!

#FoodSystems #Foodsystem #FoodSecurity #Citizens #Democracy #PublicEngagement
📣 Food is a connecting, not a polarising subject

‘A Citizen Mandate for Change’ - the results of #TheFoodConversation - shows that citizens care about the same things when it comes to food – resulting in a high degree of consensus about the changes they want their leaders to make.

Fascinating blog applying #Posthumanism thinking to the medical humanities

My fav so far thepolyphony.org/2023/12/14/s...
Proposes engaging speculative #ethics, rather than abstract biomedical ethics, to make visible the messy, situated, relational networks of care within & beyond the health system

In #Posthumanism research we aim to de-centre humans

But are there risks of erasing human voices & how to balance these w/ opportunities of re-conceptualising our relations with the world
