Science

The Project Future Food Imaginaries begins with the realisation that the existing food system, and the diets this food system caters for, is a major contributor to both climate change and global inequality. This page lists some of the major climate/food science projects that study the relationship between the food system and ongoing biospheric breakdown and that help guide the project.

Food Climate Science

The initiatives listed under this heading research how food and food systems affect the environment. They produce a lot of hard data and also speculate on what can be done to make food and food production/transportation more sustainable and just.

Food Initiatives for Change

The organisations listed under this heading are science-based initiatives that actively seek to change the way that people eat. Many of them are actively researching the relationship between foodways and the climate but their main focus is to contribute to sustainability and positive transformation through collaboration with people and stakeholders.
