Volume 22 explores the complex relationships between gender and
food in a variety of locations and time periods using a range of
research methods. Authors show that gender inequality and men's
dominance are implicit or explicit, and that in times of both
stability and change, the burden of many if not most aspects of
food production and provisioning falls upon women and is an
integral part of the care work they perform. Food is shown to be
related to societal structures of power, resources and labor
markets, as well as households, bodies and emotions. Health,
well-being and sustainability emerge as major tropes in the
economic and geographic north and south from the arctic to the
equator and places between. Western cultural trends regarding
specialized diets as they relate to health and illness are examined
from a gender lens as is children's nutrition worldwide. Gender
inequality as it affects the struggle for access to land, the
affordability of food, and its nutritional value is identified as a
major social policy issue.
