Description
The seminar series examinee the multiple ways in which food is governed today and its implications for health, the environment and business. The series paid particular attention to the role that non- governmental actors and citizen-consumers play in contemporary forms of local and global food governance. Based on seven invited talks, the series addressed the question of whether food consumption can be considered an ‘invisible' form of public and political engagement and asks what the potential limits of such an engagement are.
The Oxford Food Governance group seminar series provided scope for interdisciplinary engagement with research communities interested in food governance, within and beyond Oxford. The seminar series served as a seedbed for the development of a new network for information exchange and collaboration, ensuring the inclusion of multidisciplinary voices in the project's network of stakeholders.
