The document discusses biodiversity, ethno-diversity, and food cultures in facing the world food challenge. It covers several topics:
1. The awakening of diversity, including biodiversity, ethno-diversity, and diversity as heritage.
2. Feeding humanity and the world food challenge, discussing Malthus' theory of population growth, demographic transition, and returning to Malthus' predictions.
3. Food models and the central role of ethno-diversity, looking at social food spaces, sustainable development, and the role of cultural diversity in sustainability.

Malaysian Food Barometer - a survey to study the consequences of modernizati...Jean-Pierre Poulain
Malaysia society is experiencing rapid urbanisation and modernization. A sizeable new middle class has emerged and the traditional ways of life and eating habits of the different ethnic communities are changing. For many years, nutritional surveys have been capturing the transformations of food consumptions. To date a comprehensive survey focusing on the socio-cultural determinants of food habits at the national level have not been reported. The purpose of the Malaysian Food Barometer is to fill this gap. This PPT presents the conceptual framework and the methodologies used to investigate the eating practices and cultural representations on food and eating in a multicultural context.
Un nouvel objet vient enrichir le champ d’investigation des sciences humaines : le « fait alimentaire ». Ce dictionnaire est le premier à exposer la diversité et la richesse des sens que cette expression recèle.
Penser l’alimentation c’est l’inscrire naturellement au cœur de dialectiques culturelles et sociales : celles du terroir et de la mondialisation, de l’authentique et de la standardisation des denrées, du symbolique et du réel, de l’animalité et de l’humanité.
Mais c’est encore placer le « fait alimentaire », voire le déplacer en « fait nutritionnel », au point d’oscillation balançant du don à la privation, de l’aide à l’arme alimentaire, de la malnutrition à l’engraissement, de la pensée sauvage à la rationalité industrielle, de la nutri-génétique à la nutri-génomique, de l’herbivore à la vache folle, de la gastronomie au fast-food, de l’élémentaire besoin au rituel religieux sophistiqué… bref, de l’incorporation à l’identité et donc de l’Autre au Même : manger, c’est dépendre d’une culture.
Plus de 230 études, rédigées par 162 spécialistes d’horizons linguistiques extrêmement divers et de compétences scientifiques complémentaires (anthropologie, sociologie, médecine, histoire des religions, psychologie, droit, économie, histoire, géographie, agronomie, politique internationale de santé…) composent le menu du Dictionnaire des cultures alimentaires.

Understanding the evolution of our dietary behaviour to improve that of the f...Louis Bonduelle Foundation
Within the space of just two generations, society has swept away thousands of years' worth of cultural evolution regarding the understanding of vegetable and animal food resources.
More cases studies on :

The current industrial system of production, transformation and consumption of food is the major driver of planetary destruction. This system, sustained by the normative valuation of food as a commodity, is pursuing resource enclosures and unsustainable exploitation beyond planetary boundaries to satisfy the profit maximization ethos. Because food is only a commodity, for-profit initiatives are fully justified.
In this lecture, I propose a different value-based narrative, one based on the multiple dimensions of food relevant to human beings, dimensions that cannot be valued in market monetary terms. Food as a commodity just use the treadeable dimension of food. But what about the others (i.e. a human right, and essential resource, a cultural determinant). Therefore, food shall be valued differently, as a multi-dimensional commons with public good dimensions that require a different kind of governance and allocation mechanisms othern than the market.
If we need to change drastically the global food system in crisis, we need to start by having a different narrative and different food values. Here is a first approach to that.
BIODIVERSITY AND HEALTHY SOCIETY BY GROUP 1KaliAndres
Biodiversity supports human and societal needs, including food and nutrition security, energy, development of medicines and pharmaceuticals and freshwater, which together underpin good health. It also supports economic opportunities, and leisure activities that contribute to overall wellbeing.

Similar to Sociology of food: Food models between bio-diversity and ethno-diversity (20)
Risk and Food Safety in China and Japan reframes the relationship between risk and food. The book theorises the links between food and risk and analyses the decision-making process in light of risks and governance. The relationship between food risks, governance systems, and economic decisions is assessed in order to explore ideas such as the "pact of nutrition" and the theory of weak signals. This book will be an important resource for scholars, academics and policy-makers in the fields of sociology, economics, food studies, Chinese studies and Japanese studies and theories of risks and safety.

Afeta as pessoas de forma social e culturalmente diferenciada e é um fator de desigualdade social e desigualdade de saúde.
Aqueles que sofrem com isso sofrem com o olhar social que paira sobre eles. Eles são mal considerados e muitas vezes discriminados.
A alimentação humana é culturalmente determinada na definição do que é comestível, os métodos de preparação, consumo e sua implementação em contextos sociais.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Revealing/Highlighting the notion of

Interdependence of vegetal and
animal species and their
contribution toward the cycle of life
The biodiversity is seen as a human
heritage
3
4. Consequences
“Sanctuarization” of certain locations
and certain species
Natural parks, African animal reserves,
(example of Malaysia- Sipadan and
Sempurna national park)
Designation of protected species ( Wales,
tuna, sharks, Elephants, Wolfs)
Apparition of wild life protection
associations (WWF)
Development of Eco-tourism
4
5. The drivers of this awakening
The oil crisis and the warnings thrown by
the forecasters (club of Rome 1972)
The duality of the modern man over nature
The emergence of a “world system”
Internationalization (mondialization) and
Globalization

6
7. The integration of cultural diversity
The consideration of societies behaviours as
a component of biodiversity.
It is the concept of Ethno-diversity and the
consideration of local knowledge, as stated in
the article 8 of the biological diversity
convention signed in Rio in 1992.
7
8. The ethno-diversity
The cultural differences
are based on the
framework of bio-diversity.
They represent as many
witness of the diversity
and wealth of humanity
8
9. Various conceptions of Ethno-
diversity
For the first conception: it is the most astonishing
expression of humankind and therefore an element of a
living heritage, as much as bio-diversity.
For the second: it is in line with the cultural ecology
perspective, it is the result of a co-evolution between
societies and their environments. It shows some original
adaptations that represent the « print/impact » of the past
and present bio-diversity of the planet on the human
species.(J. Steward, 1955).
Finally, for the last conception, more “utilitarianism” it is
the local usages that have allowed the biodiversity to be
what it is today. Hence, describing and preserving those
knowledge and local practices is the best mean to protect
the biodiversity itself. (Roussel, 2003 ; Chouvin et al, 2004).
9
10. Consequences of ethno-diversity
Broadening of the notion of heritage
The cultural differences are brought to the
rank of heritage
They are no more considered as weirdness
due to the arbitrary power of cultures, but
the sign of the originality of the links
between one human group and its natural
environment.
Therefore, those heritages need to be
protected
We move from biological interdependence
to cultural interdependence 10
11. The Slow Movement began with a protest against the opening of a
McDonald's restaurant in Piazza di Spagna, in Rome (Italia).
Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported
organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast
life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling
interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and
how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
To do that, Slow Food brings together pleasure
and responsibility, and makes them inseparable.
Today, it have over 100,000 members in
132 countries

cultural autonomy
« Our conception of the social food space accept the
idea of interactions , meanwhile underlining the
existence of cultural autonomy, as long as it does not
shakes (too much) the vital processes…..It insists on
the fact that the elements of the natural environment
only become resources if they completely belong to
the cultural system.» (Poulain, 2002)
We join the conception developed by Jean Baechler :
« We have the right to affirm that the natural conceptions always involve as
answers by yes or by no to questions asked by actors situated in a given context.
… Nature doesn’t impose anything, but it makes possible or impossible some
actions conducted in a given context… » (Baechler, 2001, 469-470)
50. What is a food model?
A specific configuration of the social space
A body of technological knowledge accumulated from
generations to genrations, allowing the selection of
resources in a natural environement, to prepare them to be
food, then dishes and to consume them.
It is also, some symbolic codes’ systems showing the
values of a human group participating to the construction
of cultural identities and to the internal processes of
differenciation.
Jean Pierre Poulain, université de Toulouse 50
51. Food models
They are complex social constructions that functions
unconsciously and allow:
To deal with food cognitive ambivalences
To articulate the various horizons of food act: pleasure, health and
symbolic order
The construction of social identities through internal and external
processes of identifications and differentiation / through processes of
identifications and internal and external differentiation
To ease decision making
They are living heritages leaving and
evolving/transforming/morphing with societies.
54. The present food production

There are 6.3 billion of us on
the face of the earth and more
than 1 billion suffer from
malnutrition and hunger

58. « Through the choice of his food the
individual choses the kind of man he
wants to be…
By reducing bread to calories, wine to a
drug, sex to hygiene, we deny the
affective role of flesh et we proclaim
that our science is sufficient to give a
meaning to life, we leave the spiritual
and sacred to the rank of barbarian
vestiges.
