Food Geography: A Primer
Keywords:
food, food geography, food inequalities
Abstract
Food is any substance consumed for nutritional purpose. It supplies energy to the human body. Food’s study is now embedded within disciplinary subfields such as cultural, political, economic, social, and development geographies. It has become integral to geographical questions of health, gender, race, and the environment. The geography of food may be regarded as an emerging and growing subfield within human geography. It deals with issues of production and consumption of food, and especially global patterns. The paper provides an overview of food geography.
