Abstract

Abstract Although food waste is gaining attention as an issue of environmental, social, and economic concern, this topic has only been taken up minimally by food scholars, despite its apparent relevance to food systems scholarship. Through a literature scan of nine food systems journals, we identify and characterize all instances of “food waste” and “food loss” mentions. We find that reference to this important topic is growing within food studies but is still a marginal concept. To help advance the discourse on food wastage, we suggest three potential areas of food systems research that could extend the scholarship, particularly drawing from analytical developments in discard studies. We encourage food studies scholars to consider waste as an intrinsic element of the food systems they study and as a fruitful boundary topic for future research.

从农场到餐桌……还有其他吗?呼吁将食物浪费纳入粮食系统研究

虽然食物浪费作为一个环境、社会和经济问题正受到越来越多的关注，但这一话题仅被食品学者所关注，尽管它与食品系统奖学金有明显的相关性。通过对九种食品系统期刊的文献扫描，我们确定并描述了提到“食物浪费”和“食物损失”的所有实例。我们发现，在食品研究中，这一重要话题的提及越来越多，但仍然是一个边缘概念。为了帮助推进关于食物浪费的论述，我们提出了可以扩展奖学金的食物系统研究的三个潜在领域，特别是从丢弃研究的分析发展中汲取。我们鼓励食品研究学者将浪费视为他们所研究的食品系统的内在要素，并将其作为未来研究的富有成果的边界主题。

期刊介绍： Food and Foodways is a refereed, interdisciplinary, and international journal devoted to publishing original scholarly articles on the history and culture of human nourishment. By reflecting on the role food plays in human relations, this unique journal explores the powerful but often subtle ways in which food has shaped, and shapes, our lives socially, economically, politically, mentally, nutritionally, and morally. Because food is a pervasive social phenomenon, it cannot be approached by any one discipline. We encourage articles that engage dialogue, debate, and exchange across disciplines.
