NYU’s Institute of Public Knowledge is hosting the launch of Practicing Food Studies, edited by Amy Bentley, Fabio Parasecoli, and Krishnendu Ray. I wrote the Foreword. We will all provide brief perspectives on our quarter century of teaching food studies. For information and registration, click here. For 30% off on the book, click here.

Weekend Reading: Food Wars
Tim Lang and Michael Heasman. Food Wars:The Global Battle for Mouths, Minds and Markets. Second Edition. Taylor & Francis, 2015
I did a blurb for this as well as for its first edition.
What’s so terrific about this book is its basis in theory applied to real-world, cross-cutting food issues involving government, business, and civil society. The authors emphasize the need for all of us to advocate for healthier and more sustainable food systems, for food peace rather than food wars, and to do so now.
