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.
The Eating in the Anthropocene (EAT)-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, Health.
The Berkeley Food Institute
Food Climate Research Network
The Stockholm Resilience Centre
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.
Future Food Institute
Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN)
FoodPrint
World Food Program
Thought for Food
Critical Food Studies
The sites listed below include organisations that employ a wide humanities and social science register to try to understand how people feel and understand food.
