• 21/ Child undernutrition in Guatemala: aggravating factors and levers

  – Juliana Yael Milovich, Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, United Kingdom Elena Villar, Department of Economics and Finance, Catholic University of Milan, Italy
  Key points The aggressive expansion of African palm farming in Guatemala is exacerbating chronic child undernutrition by jeopardizing families’ access to sufficient food. Nutritional health programmes that operate at local level and involve all community members are particularly effective in reducing child (...)

• Does participating in community gardens promote sustainable lifestyles in urban settings ? Design and protocol of the JArDinS study.
  10 novembre 2021, par Mathilde COUDRAY

  Despite growing evidence for the multiple health benefits of community gardening, longitudinal studies based on quantitative data are needed. Here we describe the protocol of JArDinS, a quasi-experimental study, aimed at assessing the impact of community garden participation (a natural experiment) in the adoption of more sustainable lifestyles.

• Feeding the city : work and food culture of the Mumbai dabbawalas
  26 octobre 2021, par Mathilde COUDRAY

  Every day in Mumbai 5,000 dabbawalas (literally translated as "those who carry boxes") distribute a staggering 200,000 home-cooked lunchboxes to the city’s workers and students. Giving employment and status to thousands of largely illiterate villagers from Mumbai’s hinterland, this co-operative has been in operation since the late nineteenth century. It provides one of the most efficient delivery networks in the world : only one lunch in six million goes astray. Feeding the City is an ethnographic study of the fascinating inner workings of Mumbai’s dabbawalas. Cultural anthropologist Sara Roncaglia explains how they cater to the various dietary requirements of a diverse and increasingly global city, where the preparation and consumption of food is pervaded with religious and cultural significance. Developing the idea of "gastrosemantics" – a language with which to discuss the broader implications of cooking and eating – Roncaglia’s study helps us to rethink our relationship to food at a local and global level.

• Food aid after fifty years : recasting its role
  3 novembre 2021, par Mathilde COUDRAY

  This book analyzes the impact food aid programmes have had over the past fifty years, assessing the current situation as well as future prospects. Issues such as political expediency, the impact of international trade and exchange rates are put under the microscope to provide the reader with a greater understanding of this important subject matter. This book will prove vital to students of development economics and development studies and those working in the field.

• The new nutrition science project
  27 octobre 2021, par Mathilde COUDRAY

  To show that nutrition science, with its application to food and nutrition policy, now needs a new conceptual framework. This will incorporate nutrition in its current definition as principally a biological science, now including nutritional aspects of genomics. It will also create new governing and guiding principles ; specify a new definition ; and add social and environmental dimensions and domains.

• 20/ Does weight status increase vulnerability to the food environment?
  16 September 2022, by Mathilde COUDRAY

  – Marine Mas, UMR CSGA, INRAE, Dijon, France Stéphanie Chambaron, UMR CSGA, INRAE, Dijon, France Marie-Claude Brindisi, CHU Bourgogne, Dijon, France
  Key points All individuals tend to “go towards” food automatically, especially food that is energy-dense. This potentially explains the obesogenic effect of the Western food environment. Some individuals have a cognitive vulnerability to the food environment. This vulnerability is driven by more than conscious factors, and challenges the “lack of (...)

• Avoiding the local trap : scale and food systems in planning research
  3 novembre 2021, par Mathilde COUDRAY

  A strong current of food-systems research holds that local food systems are preferable to systems at larger scales. Many assume that eating local food is more ecologically sustainable and socially just. We term this the local trap and argue strongly against it. We draw on current scale theory in political and economic geography to argue that local food systems are no more likely to be sustainable or just than systems at other scales. The theory argues that scale is socially produced : scales (and their interrelations) are not independent entities with inherent qualities but strategies pursued by social actors with a particular agenda. It is the content of that agenda, not the scales themselves, that produces outcomes such as sustainability or justice. As planners move increasingly into food-systems research, we argue it is critical to avoid the local trap. The article’s theoretical approach to scale offers one way to do so.
