Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food Sustainability and the Media in Linking Awareness, Knowledge and Action is the first book to explore the role that media play in raising awareness, spurring action and increasing understanding about food security and global sustainability issues, with climate change playing a prominent role. The complexity and multi-faceted dimension of food and sustainability science has been recognized as a challenge both for media reporting and coverage as well as for public understanding and engagement. It is thus pivotal to analyze the way media frames and communicate food-related and sustainability challenges to foster its role in achieving sustainable development. Building on this challenge, the book addresses means of leveraging both traditional and new media to advance the food and sustainability discourse by linking awareness, knowledge, and action, in line with the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations. Public perceptions are affected by shifts in media coverage and framing, with implications in political polarization on these topics. Media communication can exert a strong influence on environmental and sustainability-related processes, including policy, public awareness and corporate behavior. It is fundamental to understand how we can leverage on different media - from entertainment to news media, spanning "traditional media" such as television, films, books, newspapers, magazines, as well as "new media" including the Internet and social media - to advance the climate change discourse on today's climate and food-related issues and unlock its potential to provide critical inputs to all actors. To address this, Food Sustainability and the Media in Linking Awareness, Knowledge and Action links sustainability and food security in media communication to address different topics, including the way climate change is framed by the media; key factors of success and failure in NGOs, public and corporate communication, climate change denial and fake news, the role of health communication campaigns in shaping new dietary patterns, the impact of social media and gamification, and others. Ideal for those seeking to understand the impact of today's communication tools and practices, and their potential for addressing these urgent needs. Addresses both conceptual and theoretical issues Presents a diversified set of methodological perspectives, theoretical backgrounds and issues Provides a conclusion that ties the content together, exploring the role of the media and food sustainability in Europe and the US

Download or read book The Political Relevance of Food Media and Journalism written by Elizabeth Fakazis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interrogating the intersections of food, journalism, and politics, this book offers a critical examination of food media and journalism, and its political potential against the backdrop of contemporary social challenges. Contributors analyze current and historic examples such as #BlackLivesMatter, COVID-19, climate change, Brexit, food sovereignty, and identity politics, highlighting how food media and journalism reach beyond the commercial imperatives of lifestyle journalism to negotiate nationalism, globalization, and social inequalities. The volume challenges the idea that food media/journalism are trivial and apolitical by drawing attention to the complex ways that storytelling about food has engaged political discourses in the past, and the innovative ways it is doing so today. Bringing together international scholars from a variety of disciplines, the book will be of great interest to scholars and students of journalism, communication, media studies, food studies, sociology, and anthropology.
Download or read book Framing in Sustainability Science written by Takashi Mino and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book offers both conceptual and empirical descriptions of how to “frame” sustainability challenges. It defines “framing” in the context of sustainability science as the process of identifying subjects, setting boundaries, and defining problems. The chapters are grouped into two sections: a conceptual section and a case section. The conceptual section introduces readers to theories and concepts that can be used to achieve multiple understandings of sustainability; in turn, the case section highlights different ways of comprehending sustainability for researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders. The book offers diverse illustrations of what sustainability concepts entail, both conceptually and empirically, and will help readers become aware of the implicit framings in sustainability-related discourses. In the extant literature, sustainability challenges such as climate change, sustainable development, and rapid urbanization have largely been treated as “pre-set,” fixed topics, while possible solutions have been discussed intensively. In contrast, this book examines the framings applied to the sustainability challenges themselves, and illustrates the road that led us to the current sustainability discourse.

Download or read book Media Sustainability and Everyday Life written by Geoffrey Craig and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses representations of sustainable everyday life across advertising, eco-reality television, newspapers, magazines and social media. It foregrounds the discursive and networked basis of sustainability and demonstrates how such media representations connect the home and local community to broader political, social and economic contexts. The book shows how green lifestyle media negotiate issues of sustainability in varying ways, reproducing the logic of existing consumer society while also sometimes providing projections of a more environmentally friendly existence. In this way, the book argues that everyday lifestyles are not an irredeemable problem for environmentalism but an important site of environmental politics.
Download or read book Sustainable Food Systems written by Terry Marsden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the challenges of a growing population and food security, there is an urgent need to construct a new agri-food sustainability paradigm. This book brings together an integrated range of key social science insights exploring the contributions and interventions necessary to build this framework. Building on over ten years of ESRC funded theoretical and empirical research centered at BRASS, it focuses upon the key social, economic and political drivers for creating a more sustainable food system. Themes include: regulation and governance sustainable supply chains public procurement sustainable spatial strategies associated with rural restructuring and re-calibrated urbanised food systems minimising bio-security risk and animal welfare burdens. The book critically explores the linkages between social science research and the evolving food security problems facing the world at a critical juncture in the debates associated with not only food quality, but also its provenance, vulnerability and the inherent unsustainability of current systems of production and consumption. Each chapter examines how the links between research, practice and policy can begin to contribute to more sustainable, resilient and justly distributive food systems which would be better equipped to ‘feed the world’ by 2050.
