Food and Sustainability
Call for Presentations and Participation 2016
An Environmental Justice Project
Monday 18th July - Wednesday 20th July 2016
Mansfield College, Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom
What is food justice? This project examines the ways in which food systems
are been transformed under late-phase capitalism and globalization, and
have become embedded in systems of power that are often discriminatory and
exclude certain marginalized groups. Who produces food? Who has access to
land and the means of production? Do people equally have access to healthy,
nutritious, culturally appropriate food? How do we experience environmental
crises? In what ways has colonialism affected our food system and
traditional livelihoods?
(http://foodsecurecanada.org/community-networks/food-justice
)
We are interested in investigating the ways in which we create
sustainability and diversity to alleviate injustices in our food systems.
Specifically, we wish to investigate the best ways to engage institutions
of higher education in the quest for food security, poverty reduction and
environmental justice. What are the benefits in creating a network of
academic researchers, community activists, government officials and policy
makers for the development of socially inclusive, ecologically minded and
sustainable food systems?
This hub sets out to investigate the ways in which communities stakeholders
and institutions of higher learning have joined forces in the pursuit of
environmental justice, to create sustainable food systems, fight poverty,
and make good nutrition available to all. Sustainability, in this context,
means using resources at rates that do not exceed the capacity of the Earth
to replace them. A sustainable food system can be achieved by ensuring the
security of the supply chain of food, and the production of healthy, safe,
affordable high quality food; it means fostering a food industry by
adopting fair work practices and safety standards; finally, it implies the
use environmentally sound growing practices, in terms of climate change,
biodiversity, water and soil quality.
(http://ec.europa.eu/environment/eussd/food.htm
).
We wish to explore the ways in which academics, working with allies in
their communities, have made universities and colleges more engaged in the
creation of solutions for the urgent social problem of food insecurity. The
conference has a global focus; it aims to facilitate dialogue and spark
innovative collaborations and discussions at the international level. We
welcome papers from all disciplines, professions and vocations, going
beyond the academic world and bringing together researchers, community
activists and community stakeholders engaged in food justice, to explore
their collaborations within and outside the academic world. From the
academic sector, we seek representation of the many disciplines that work
in the area of food justice: the natural and social sciences, health
science, social policy, community development, etc.
We welcome traditional papers, panels and workshop proposals, as well as
other forms of presentation platforms (posters, video submissions, etc.)
favoured outside academia, given that the conference aims to bring together
academics, activists and other officials, recognising that different
professional groups express themselves in other formats and mediums. We
seek submissions on any of the following themes:
Academic and Community Research Partnerships: how can community-campus
partnerships be designed and implemented to maximize the value created for
non-profit, community-based organizations, and community members? We wish
to explore how these research partnerships have provided community-friendly
and innovative programming to facilitate sustainable food production and
distribution of good nutrition, policy reform and best practices at the
governmental level. Ultimately the goals of such partnerships would be
transform social policies as well as provide frameworks to improve
governance at all levels, and improve the ways in which community
organizations, post-secondary institutions and funding agencies can work
together for better social outcomes for all members of society.
Transforming the Learning Environment through Action Research: we wish to
explore the creation of innovative programming in higher learning
institutions for Action Research. According to CIFCE (Community First:
Impacts of Community Engagement; https://carleton.ca/communityfirst/
) "Community Food Security" is possible when conditions exist to allow
all residents obtain nutritious, affordable and culturally appropriate
diets, which originate and are grown in environmentally sustainable food
systems. We are interested in investigating how academia and other
institutions of higher learning have helped in creating the conditions
necessary for "food security". What best practices for Community
Service Learning (CSL) have been introduced and how have they been
specifically tailored to maximize food justice? We are interested in
finding out how professors have managed to engage their students in Action
Research, the process of learning while "giving back" to their
communities, by becoming activists in food justice initiatives. What
courses and research plans have been introduced, what "hands on"
projects have students and academic researchers put into action and
harnessed to create food security in their communities?

Call for Cross-Over Presentations
The Food and Sustainability project will be meeting at the same time as a
project on Interculturalism and another project on Suicide. We welcome
submissions which cross the divide between both/all project areas. If you
would like to be considered for a cross project session, please mark your
submission "Crossover Submission".
