Sustainable Diets

Since a few years, there is a widespread criticism to the sustainability of food system, from many directions: consumption, marketing, procurement, processing and farming. The concept of “sustainable diets” offers a promising way to integrate the health of people and the one of ecosystems. The dominant pathway of food system has led to diets that are unsustainable for human bodies and landscapes. This talk explores contending ways to link health and environment and so theory, policy and practice, focusing on the relations of power that such approaches express or hide. Harriet Friedmann is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at the University of Toronto, and Visiting Professor at LEST, University Aix Marseille. Maria Grazia Quieti, our Vicepresident, is the Dean of the Master in Food Studies at the American University of Rome.
