Abstract:

Food is inherently cultural yet traditionally overlooked in many disciplines as a topic worthy of serious investigation. This thesis investigates how food, as a topic of interest, is thriving in an online environment through recipe sharing on food blogs. It applies an ethnographic approach to online community studies, providing a rich description of the food blogging community. The thesis demonstrates how the food blogging can be seen as a community. Through a case study focusing on a one recipe shared across many blogs, it also examines the community in action. As the community has grown,

This thesis investigates the Slow Food movement which started in Italy in the late80’s and today is an internationally spread organization with around 100 000 participants in 160 countries.

The movement is interesting from a global development perspective, since it looks at food in relation to the cultural, physical, social, environmental and political aspects of our lives, and relates to sustainability in a wide sense.

This thesis explores if and how an alternative certification system for agricultural products, the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS), could support small-scale farmers to preserve and promote biocultural and food heritage, linked to the landscape they inhabit, their identity as farmers and traditional knowledge. The PGS has been identified by Slow Food as an efficient low-cost and local 'bottom-up' quality assurance system, in order to develop their Presidia project and to re-embed agricultural productions within their traditional socio-ecological contexts.

Vergés here refers to the extent to which food can be seen to document and record certain events or subjectivities. Exploring a wide range of texts spanning the late 1800s up to the post-apartheid present, this thesis focuses in particular on the ways in which “spice” as commodity, ingredient or symbol is employed to articulate and/or embed creo

Reflecting the growing interest from both consumers and policymakers, and building on recent developments in Willingness to Pay (WTP) methodologies, we evaluate consumer preferences for an archetypal traditional food product. Specifically we draw on stated preference data from a discrete choice experiment, considering the traditional Hungarian mangalitza salami. A WTP space specification of the generalized multinomial logit model is employed, which accounts for not only heterogeneity in preferences but also differences in the scale of the idiosyncratic error term.

Abstract:

From the Arctic to the South Pacific, Indigenous Peoples have experienced a rapid nutrition transition involving the decline of traditional/subsistence-based ways of life and the adoption of a “Western” diet that is high in saturated fats, sugar, and processed foods. This dietary shift has been paralleled by an increased prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and, other diet-related chronic diseases. In the Arctic, rapidly changing biophysical conditions, globalization, and integration into market economies are collectively challenging access to both country foods and nutritious market foods.

Il processo fermentativo migliora il valore nutrizionale degli alimenti, le caratteristiche organolettiche, l’accettabilità e l’appetibilità per i consumatori e prolunga la shelf life dei prodotti stessi.

Dietary exposure studies are conducted using the total concentration of mercury in the food multiplied by the food consumption rate.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the impact of climate changes on the harvest of traditional foods and characterizes the implication of these changes on the diet of Aboriginal Peoples in northern Canada. Combinations of qualitative and quantitative methods were used to document and estimate the local harvest pattern of key species of traditional food. Overall results between the estimated amount of available food from the harvest and the estimated amount of dietary intake did not agree, however, strong agreements were seen in two species: moose and whitefish. The relationship of harvest data to dietary i

Abstract:

Aguaruna Indigenous People live along the Rio Cenepa in the Peruvian Amazon. This thesis describes the Aguaruna traditional food system (TFS) and defines its nutritional importance. Nutritional status of women and young children were assessed using anthropometry. Dietary intakes and dietary diversity were recorded using repeat 24 hour recalls. Subsequently, the relative nutrient contributions of local foods were analyzed. A market survey was conducted to compare the nutrient value and relative cost of seasonal local foods with imported products. Anthropometry suggested a healthy populat

Abstract:

As a nation, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) faces increasing rates of noncommunicable diseases related to the replacement of the traditional diet with processed imported food and adoption of sedentary lifestyles. To reverse this trend, a food-based intervention in Pohnpei, FSM, used various approaches to promote local food (LF) production and consumption. Evaluation of the intervention in one community assessed changes in diet and health status in a random sample of households (n=47). Process indicators were also examined. Results from dietary assessments indicated increased (110%) provi

Abstract:

The primary aim of this research was to determine whether herbal infusions, yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hilaire) and rooibos (Aspalathus linearis (Burm. F.) R. Dahlgren), could make a significant contribution to the dietary intake of polyphenols. A secondary aim was to determine whether the trace elemental content of these herbal infusions were of dietary significance. The total polyphenol (using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay), the individual polyphenol compounds (by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography) and the trace element content (by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrome

Abstract:

Immigrants face many challenges when transitioning to life in a new country, and access to their traditional food can assist in facilitating a smoother transition. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact that access to traditional food has on the perception of health and well-being of Jamaican immigrants to the United States. Methods: Using a qualitative descriptive design, twenty Jamaicans (10 in New York; 10 in Utah) participated in semi-structured interviews, which were transcribed and analyzed. Results: Participants expressed a preference for traditional food. New York particip

Abstract:

Maize is the main cereal grain cultivated worldwide (Zea mays L. ssp. mays), and alone is responsible for providing 15% of the protein and 20% of the calories in the human diet supplying an energy density of 365 Kcal/100 g. Maize is a good source of starch and protein; it also provides lipids, macronutrients, micronutrients and fiber. Maize has a matrix rich in organic compounds and minerals with potential benefits to health. Human nutrition remains one of the main uses, being a staple food for poor populations and determining the selection of varieties for producing many typical dishes such a

Abstract:

Communities in the Sahel region are confronted with problems such as depletion of soil fertility, food insecurity, and climate change, which exacerbate poverty and malnutrition for the inhabitants. The farmlands in Toukar, Senegal, are rapidly denuded of native trees, mainly Acacia albida, that provide myriad benefits. Agroforestry systems, or the intentional use of trees in croplands, have become a potential vehicle to transform the capacities of subsistence farmers to achieve food security. The purpose of this study is to determine farmers' attitudes about agroforestry, who seems to practice
