BSE, Vogelgrippe oder Gammelfleisch - diese Stichworte sind ein fester Bestandteil der massenmedialen Berichterstattung. Welchen Stellenwert haben aber solche Ereignisse für die Menschen im Alltag? Wie arrangieren sie sich mit der permanenten Skandalisierung? Welche Skandale lösen bei ihnen überhaupt noch Irritationen aus? Diese Fragen bilden die Grundlage für eine empirisch-soziologische Untersuchung des alltäglichen Umgangs mit Lebensmittelskandalen. Entgegen anderen Untersuchungen geht diese Studie nicht von einer allgemeinen Betroffenheit und Gefährdungswahrnehmung aus, sondern arbeitet anhand von qualitativen Interviews unterschiedliche subjektive Erfahrungen, Deutungen, Reaktionen und Rechtfertigungen heraus und rekonstruiert diese in einer Typologie der individuellen Bewältigungsmuster. »Es handelt sich bei dem Buch in erster Linie um eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit, dennoch ist sie auch unterhaltsam geschrieben und von den Ergebnissen auch für den Laien, also den Verbraucher, der ja in gewisser Weise Gegenstand der Arbeit ist, interessant.« www.umweltjournal.de, 21.01.2008 »Die vorliegende Studie liefert insbesondere durch ihre Vielschichtigkeit und ihr starkes theoretisches Fundament einen umfassenden Einstieg in das Thema Krisenwahrnehmung, Konsumentenverhalten und speziell Lebensmittelskandale.« Anna Palm, Rheinisch-westfälische Zeitschrift für Volkskunde, 55 (2010) Besprochen in: Soziologische Revue, 33 (2010)

Food is more than just nutrition. Its preparation, presentation and consumption is a multifold communicative practice which includes the meal's design and its whole field of experience. How is food represented in cookbooks, product packaging or in paintings? How is dining semantically charged? How is the sensuality of eating treated in different cultural contexts? In order to acknowledge the material and media-related aspects of eating as a cultural praxis, experts from media studies, art history, literary studies, philosophy, experimental psychology, ethnology, food studies, cultural studies and design studies share their special approaches.

This book addresses the relationship between religion, climate change, and food security in Africa. Contributors to this volume interrogate how and to what extent religion in Africa serves as a resource (or confounding factor) in responding to Sustainable Development Goals 13 (action on climate change) and 2 (achieve Zero Hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture). Approaching the theme from diverse disciplinary and methodological angles, contributors probe the potential role of religion in Africa to accelerate the achievement of these two SDGs, especially the role of religion with regard to food availability, food accessibility, food utilization, and food systems stability. Loreen Maseno is a Senior Lecturer, Department of Religion, Theology and Philosophy, Maseno University, Kenya and Research fellow, University of South Africa (UNISA). David Andrew Omona is an Associate Professor of Ethics and International Relations and Dean School of Social Sciences at Uganda Christian University. Ezra Chitando is Professor of History and Phenomenology of Religion at the University of Zimbabwe. Sophia Chirongoma is a Senior Lecturer in the Religious Studies Department at Midlands State University, Zimbabwe.

While the importance of food to health and well-being is clear, the specific ways in which food systems contribute to individual and community health are not well understood. This is a complex issue, which requires improving food systems as well as changing mindsets and behaviors of individuals within the food system. Many of the food-related health problems in the US disproportionately affect children, women, ethnic minorities, and low-income people. Addressing these problems requires that we understand more about the processes of institutional change, structural conditions, perceptions, and decision-making processes. The environment itself determines much of what individuals can draw from it. Community norms may dictate who has access to food assistance; engaged communities may provide more food assistance and may make food resources more easily accessible for the poor. In addition, consumer and producer attitudes and interests may conflict over some issues surrounding sustainability and health. The present volume focuses on food production, distribution and consumption, and their effects on individual health. The text is divided into three parts: Part One focuses on the relationship between food systems, families, health, sociodemographic and environmental factors; Part Two explores the relationship between food systems, food advertisements, and community engagement; and Part Three discusses current research and interventions toward a more equitable food system.
