Food commons: a disruptive narrative and moral compass for human survival

This lectures proposes a different normative regard on food, not as a mono-dimensional commodity that can only be accesed through money, but as a multi-dimensional commons that shall be governed by people (all eaters, some producers), partner States and profit-restricted social enterprises to guarantee that everybody has access to food by different means. Since food systems are main drivers of Earth destruction, we need to radically transform the way we produce and eat food to keep on living in this planet without exhausting the natural resources that are vital for human life: food, water and air. This lecture provides policy options for such a transition towards a fairer and more sustainable food system that feeds us all.

Cultural Anthropology Getting Food Cultural Anthropology Food-getting activities take precedence over all other survival needs, including reproduction, social control, defense, and transmission of knowledge to the next generation Cultural Anthropology In our society food-getting strategies are simplified – we merely need to go to the supermarket Video: "'Freegans' Take Green to Extreme" Cultural Anthropology But for some of the world, the level of food-getting takes up more time and is much more labor-intensive. It is called subsistence economics. Cultural Anthropology Subsistence economics is a situation where basically all able-bodied adults are engaged in getting food for themselves and their family as their main activity Cultural Anthropology Subsistence economics is how humans obtained their food for millions of years by foraging for their subsistence – e.g. gathering plants, nuts, berries, scavenging, hunting and fishing Cultural Anthropology Foraging is much less common today As a subsistence style, it is used today by hunter-gatherers, who make up only about 5 million people on the planet Cultural Anthropology Foraging for plant life – gathering plants, berries, seeds, nuts and tubers is more common in areas close to the equator as compared to northern latitudes such as the Arctic, where plant life is scarce Video: "Hunter-Gatherers" Cultural Anthropology In northern climates, since plants are scarce, hunting is more predominant See an Inuit (Eskimo) hunter in Northern Canada in the classic anthropological film “ “Nanook of the North” (1922) Foragers Foragers actually spend less time obtaining food than most other types of food-getters !Kung adults of Southern Africa spend just 17 hours a week on average getting food Characteristics of Foragers Foragers generally have small communities with no class differences Getting Food: General Features of Food Collectors A survey of 180 food-collecting societies indicates that there is a lot of variation with regard to which food-getting activity is most important to the society. Gathering is the most important activity for 30 percent of the surveyed societies, hunting for 25 percent, and fishing for 38 percent. * Food Production Most of the world does not forage for food but produces it in one fashion or another 3 types of food production; horticulture, pastoralism, and intensive agriculture No food production strategy is perfect, as the videos illustrate Video: 'Women’s Horticulture Group in Burkina Faso" Food Production Horticulturalists have relatively small plots of land Often use hand tools instead of machines May also raise small animals; pigs, chickens, sheep, goats Getting Food: Food Production Horticulture Plant cultivation carried out with relatively simple tools and methods; nature is allowed to replace nutrients in the soil, in the absence of permanently cultivated fields Main Horticultural Method - Shifting cultivation .

Roadspace Allocation for Better Streets

Design South East

This presentation highlights the importance of Roadspace Allocation within transport planning and illustrates how to develop a successful Roadspace Allocation Framework. Further to this the presentation gives an insight to understanding and meeting user requirements. It then progresses to utilise various case studies in Birmingham to further demonstrate how these frameworks can be put into practice.
