News archive - [Call for Papers] Fourth International Conference on Food Studies

The Fourth International Conference on Food Studies will be held from 20 to 21 October 2014 in Prato, Italy. In a time of growing public interest in diet, health and nutritional research, the Food Studies conference aims to examine the agricultural, environmental, economic and cultural perspectives of food through an interdisciplinary lens.
It will feature a range of presentations from broad theoretical and global policy explorations, to detailed studies of specific human-physiological, nutritional and social dynamics of food.

CONFERENCE FOCUS

The International Conference on Food Studies travels to Prato, Italy in 2014. The Conference will address a range of critically important issues and themes relating to the Food Studies community.
