CFS as food studies matchmaker? Yep! We’re putting together a book review and a memoir for your weekend reading pleasure…
https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v1i2.57

What are the true costs of an industrial food system? How can we get a better perspective by taking both an insider and outsider look at farming?

Try pairing Rita Hansen Sterne’s review of Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat by (Philip Lymbery and Isabel Oakeshott) with poet and journalist Brian Brett’s Trauma Farm: A Rebel History of Rural Life.

While the former unpacks cheap meat, the latter takes us to small, mixed farm on Salt Spring Island (BC). But should you name an animal you are going to eat? Brett’s solution is to give them all interchangeable names, rather than assign one to each individual. His pigs go by Bacon, Eggs, and Toast.

Bonne lecture!

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 112: Centralization of Power in Food Systems

https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2382014/

There’s a lot of power in food and food systems: care and nurturing, regeneration and resilience. The power to feed, to refuse food, and to transform landscapes. And then there’s petroleum, data, GMOs, and pesticides; financialization, tractors, and land-grabbing…

This episode explores how corporations and governments operate and control spaces of production and transformation, with articles from Vol. 2, No. 2 of CFS, which our guest, Jennifer Clapp, co–guest edited. (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v2i2)

Alexia Moyer shares learnings from Brian Brett’s book, Trauma Farm, and PhD student Heidi Janes responds to a selection of CFS articles about corporate power.
