Anthropocene Ecologies of Food provides a detailed exploration of
cross-cultural aspects of food production, culinary practices, and
their ecological underpinning in culture. The authors draw connections
between humans and the entire process of global food production,
focusing on the broad implications these processes have within the
geographical and cultural context of India. Each chapter analyzes and
critiques existing agricultural/food practices, and representations of
aspects of food through various media (such as film, literature, and
new media) as they relate to global issues generally and Indian
contexts specifically, correcting the omission of analyses focused on
the Global South in virtually all of the work that has been done on
"Anthropocene ecologies of food." This unique volume employs an
ecocritical framework that connects food with the land, in physical
and virtual communities, and the book as a whole interrogates the
meanings and implications of the Anthropocene itself.
