BACKGROUND

Globalization has brought dramatic changes to food consumption cultures in different regions. In developing settings such as China, factors including rural-urban migration, rising disposable income, and awareness of health and well-being reshape the public's demand for the availability, variety, quantity and quality of food. The rising middle-class consumers pay more and more attention to the authenticity, safety and health of food. Government and food producers increasingly recognize the importance of food safety and nutrition. Food consumption is related to the public health and the sustainable development of the society, and yet industrialization of the food system creates a “break” or “distance” between food production and consumption and compromises sustainability from the field to the table. 

Furthermore, with growing international food trade, a perspective of international cooperation should be introduced to promote food safety and sustainable development. Issues of food safety and sustainability need to be addressed through interdisciplinary thinking. We call for inclusive and comprehensive research perspectives considering different stakeholders (producers, middlemen, consumers) and multiple influencing factors (politics, economy, and environment) work on the global sustainable food system.

The School of Tourism Management at Sun Yat-sen University will be hosting the International Conference on Interdisciplinary Food Studies: Transforming Landscapes of Food Consumption. We will invite scholars from universities in Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America to share emerging and innovative ideas, approaches and trends on the changing landscape of food consumption in the context of globalization and the rise of the middle class, aiming to promote food sustainability. We sincerely hope to establish a global research network through this exchange platform.

饮食文化生产国际学术会议 暨 第五届食文化发展大会:社会变迁中的食物消费(一号通知)

主办单位:中山大学旅游学院

联合主办中国食文化研究会

                纽卡斯尔大学地理、政治与社会学学院

                杜伦大学地理系

                浙江工商大学人文与传播学院

                惠州城市职业学院

会议时间:2019年7月5日至7日

会议地点:广州 中山大学南校区

一、背景与目的

      全球化和中国经济稳定增长给社会带来了多种变化,国民食物消费的社会变迁正是这一历史进程的深刻反映。城乡流动、可支配收入的增长、不断提高的健康和福祉意识重新塑造了公众对食物的需求,包括食物的可获得性、种类、数量和质量。伴随着中产阶层的崛起,消费者越来越重视食物的原真性、安全性和健康性等问题。政府和食品生产企业也越来越关注食品安全和食品营养等问题。饮食问题关乎国民健康和社会经济的可持续发展。但是,工业化的传统食物消费系统造成饮食生产与消费的“断裂”,进而影响从田间到餐桌的可持续饮食系统构建。这致使全球范围内大量研究者关注这一领域。

     全球化视野下,国际食物贸易往来不断增强,饮食原真性、饮食安全和可持续发展议题应当引入国际合作与文明对话机制。同时,饮食可持续性的研究,应鼓励应用跨学科的研究方法和科学思维。众多利益相关者(生产者、中间商、消费者)和多种变量因素(政治、经济和环境)都对可持续饮食系统产生影响,研究者有必要引入更为包容和全面的研究视角。

     在此背景之下,中山大学旅游学院联合中国食文化研究会、纽卡斯尔大学、杜伦大学、浙江工商大学人文与传播学院、惠州城市职业学院组织了本次学术会议。会议将邀请来自亚洲、欧洲、非洲和南美洲各高校的学者分享饮食文化研究领域的新观念、新方法和新趋势,共同探讨全球化和中产阶层崛起背景下食物消费的社会变迁,以求推动全球食物可持续发展。会议也邀请国内专门研究机构和青年饮食研究学者组织网络与“虚拟”食物消费景观、少数民族饮食文化、可持续性与饮食文化教育(食育)、信任与食品安全、外卖与食品新零售等专题论坛。我们期望通过这一交流平台,建立更为广泛的学术交流与合作关系,推动中国饮食文化研究走向世界。
