| description | At the time of writing this introduction, a food studies listserv run by the
Association for the Study of Food and Society that I am on has been
consumed by two threads: one has morphed into a "what is the state of the
field" discussion and the other grapples with the crypto-Rumsfeldian
question, "what don't we know about the food of the past." These are
curiously relevant and timely questions for this themed issue on Food and
Asia. We are in a moment of intense scholarly interest in how food is
produced, consumed and understood. For many, there is an added urgency
to the study of food as agribusiness and scientific developments change the
very molecular composition of the foods we eat, and push some foods and
foodways into the category of the permanently vanishing. In the context of
the globalisation of food, the ongoing fears of a world-wide food crisis and
the continuing inequalities of food production and consumption fuel this
urgency. For those with an interest in the Asia Pacific region, these are
particularly relevant issues. |
