The social function of food
Food plays an important role in our social life and is in many cases a moment that we share with others. However, since the production of food often happens out of sight, we have grown distance from our food. Integrating agriculture in the city can reduce this distance. Urban agriculture also creates a space for people to spend time together.
This collection contains research on the social function of food, collected by the editors of openresearch.amsterdam.
