What can a focus on "food projects" in Europe tell us about
contemporary social processes and cultural debates? Valeria
Siniscalchi and Krista Harper show how food becomes a marker of
identity and resistance to social exclusion, and how food values
become tools for transforming power dynamics at the local level and
beyond. Through the comparison of food-centered movements across
Europe, the book explains how these forms of mobilization express
ideologies as well as economic and political objectives. The
chapters use an ethnographic approach to focus on the
transformation of values carried by individuals and groups in
relation to food in Portugal, Greece, Latvia, Moldova, Denmark, the
UK, Italy, and France. Contributors analyze food values, as
expressed in daily life and livelihoods, through specific practices
of production, exchange, and consumption. Topics covered include
Prague's urban agricultural scene, the perception of poverty in
Moldova, shepherds' protests in Sardinia, and organic food
cooperatives in Catalonia.
