EDITORS: Veronica Allegretti, Carlo Genova, Silvia Mazzucotelli Salice, Eleonora Noia, Alessia Toldo (University of Milan Cattolica, University of Turin)

Sustainability is among the main topics which have been debated in political and public discourse during the last decades. But what do we talk about referring to “food sustainability”? And in particular focussing on food consumption?

Aim of the special issue, is to reflect upon how individuals and organisations talk about sustainability, and what imaginaries, social representations and narrations emerge from their discourses. Following this perspective, contributions on how individuals represent their attitudes and practices concerning food sustainability, as well as works on public discourses, imaginaries and idealisations of food sustainability, are welcomed, both based upon field research and theoretical reflection.

DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT PROPOSAL: 15 JULY 2023
