A study, funded by the Economic
and Social Research Council (ESRC), of the social, cultural and economic
significance of food in Britain, employing life-history analysis with producers
along the food ‘commodity chain’, supplemented by interviews with
policy makers, to assess the extent to which everyday food choices are shaped
by wider institutional forces. This project is being conducted with Prof
Peter Jackson at the University of Sheffield. Summary Project Findings avialable
here. An educational web-site developed
as part of this project can be found here.
