One of the most important drivers of the Anthropocene was a radical
shift in what and how people eat. Industrial agriculture and meat
production, new ways of processing, packaging, and distributing food,
and the globalization of culinary habits not only upended traditional
lifeways around the world but also continue to play a key role in
climate change, biodiversity loss, and various other processes that
are transforming the Earth system – now rendering food production
increasingly precarious. Nowhere have these changes been more dramatic
or consequential than in Asia. The essays in this volume examine how
literary works from the Asian continent have responded to the profound
changes in the region’s foodscapes. They cover poetry, prose
fiction, and literary non-fiction from China, India, Japan, South
Korea, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
