Cooking skills are critical for achieving health and sustainable dietary goals and yet they are in general decline in the UK. Community based cooking skills projects that aim to fill this skills gap are also in decline due to cut backs in public funding. Since cooking skills projects are diverse in scope (i.e. target group, model of intervention and intended outcome) and there is a lack of centralised support for them at the national level (in England); standards and requirements demanded by those commissioning them at the local level can vary and be unrealistic.

Regional Food Thinkers with Professor Jane Dixon at Plymouth University: "The social and environmental considerations of ethical eating, with a focus on 'nutritional breakthrough foods’ (e.g. 'superfoods')".
The document discusses potential models for the UK's food and drink laws after Brexit. It outlines the referendum and timeline, and current situation where EU law remains binding. Post-Brexit, the UK could adopt the EEA model and maintain access to the EU market but with little influence, or a non-EEA model requiring separate trade agreements and potential new food laws. The EEA model would have little practical change for food regulation but loss of policy influence, while a non-EEA model introduces more uncertainties and potential divergence from EU standards. Companies are advised to begin planning for implications depending on the exit model.
This document discusses improving collaboration between civil society organizations (CSOs) and academics. It recommends that CSOs be involved from the beginning of research projects, that objectives be clear, and that the research partner be carefully chosen based on familiarity with each other's work. Universities should provide training in collaborative methods, consider funding knowledge brokers, and engage fully with CSOs. CSOs should proactively engage with universities by providing secondment opportunities and having academics join their boards. Funding bodies should support embedded gateways and reward collaboration.
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of collaboration between civil society organizations (CSOs) and academics. It notes that the Food Research Collaboration's mission is to facilitate more effective collaboration between these groups to improve UK food policy. Some benefits of collaboration include increased impact, access to resources and funding for academics, and academic expertise and endorsement for CSOs. However, challenges can include differences in general problem-solving approaches versus specific solutions, time constraints, cultural differences, issues of prestige, and potential conflicts of interests.
The document discusses creating a healthy and sustainable food system in the United States. It proposes a system with sustainable food that protects the environment, healthy food that prevents illness, affordable food accessible to all Americans, and fair food produced through livable wages. It also describes initiatives to increase fruit and vegetable consumption through programs like nutrition incentives at farmers markets, and "Fruit and Vegetable Prescriptions" through healthcare providers.
This document summarizes a talk given on the implications of Brexit for the UK food system. The speaker argues that Brexit represents major food policy change for the UK as it exits the Common Agricultural Policy and European food regulations after 50 years. It occurs as evidence mounts for the need to change the global food system to address environmental, health, social and economic challenges. The speaker outlines risks from Brexit both to the UK food system and to progressive food policy agendas. Three potential scenarios for the UK food system post-Brexit are discussed: remaining in a reformed EU, a bespoke relationship with the EU, or becoming a global trader relying on WTO rules. The speaker's priorities in navigating Brexit include sustainable food production and
This document discusses corporate environmentalism and neoliberalism, and proposes an alternative of ecofeminist care ethics. It argues that corporate environmentalism frames issues in a way that benefits corporations and elites, rather than the environment. Neoliberalism also fails to adequately address environmental damage. In contrast, ecofeminist care ethics values emotion and embodied experience, challenges human disconnection from nature, and sees care as a form of resistance against capitalist logic. An ethics of care could motivate transformative change through hope and responsibility.
The community kitchen began in the late 2000s with the aims of addressing food poverty, fuel poverty, social isolation, and food waste. Volunteers cook a free community meal once a week using surplus food donations. The meal fosters interconnection among a diverse group of attendees, including those experiencing vulnerabilities. An ecofeminist ethic of care informs the kitchen's practices of embodied caring through food and relationship-building. The kitchen also connects volunteers to bigger issues around the unsustainable and unjust food system through educational activities and experiences with food waste collections. While small-scale, the kitchen provides care and resistance to social problems through community-building and raising awareness.
This document summarizes and discusses a paper on taking a feminist studies approach to examining eco-food relations. It is divided into three parts. Part A addresses how environmental constraints will further disadvantage women in the food system and impact health and well-being. Part B describes a gender-based livelihood and nutrition intervention in Bangladesh to address constraints facing women farmers. Part C discusses advancing approaches to food justice based on critical nutrition studies and feminist perspectives.
WEN is a non-profit organization that has worked for 25 years to advance ecofeminism and make connections between women's health, the environment, and empowerment. Their mission is to inspire women to make environmentally informed choices and be agents of change. Some of WEN's key work includes campaigns on issues like climate change and chemicals in products, as well as workshops and resources on topics from food growing to sustainable fashion. They have over 1,400 members and work locally in Tower Hamlets through initiatives such as community gardens and a seed library.
This document analyzes gender and socioeconomic differentiation in agri-nutrition policy. It finds that most policy documents conceptualize producers as individual men or women farmers who consume their own production without hiring labor. They ignore issues like landlessness, complex household dynamics, and changing food systems. This narrow conceptualization results in ineffective, delinked policies that fail to address how class, gender, and other factors determine food access. The policies are underpinned by an oversimplified picture of homogenous small farmers rather than the complex realities of agricultural production and food acquisition.
This document discusses ecofeminist political economy and critiques the current economic system. It argues that the modern economy is built on exploiting "women's work" and nature's resilience. It proposes moving to an economy based on sufficiency, provisioning, and prioritizing caring labor. Key points include recognizing the embodied and embedded nature of human existence, challenging the notion of "economic man," democratizing the money supply, and defining wealth in social and ecological terms rather than growth and profits. The goal is developing an economic system that is environmentally sustainable and socially just.
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.
