Founded in 2011, the Food Studies Research Network is brought together around a common interest to explore new possibilities for sustainable food production and human nutrition, and associated impacts of food systems on culture. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Seventeenth International Conference on Food Studies calls for research addressing the following themes.

2027 Special Focus—Food, Care, Labor: The Politics of Everyday Life 

Theme 1: Care and Everyday Life 

Theme 2: Labor, Markets, and Power 

Theme 3: Justice, Health, and Access 

Theme 4: Cultures, Ecologies, and Futures
