Dear colleagues. We are seeking abstracts for potential chapter contributions to the Handbook of Politics of Food Security (De Gruyter, 2024). The handbook will cover different political aspects of food security. Food insecurity has been an ever-present and universal global challenge but with accelerating environmental degradation, continuous population growth, and changing diets, its global as well as local importance is only increasing. The Handbook will approach the issue of food security from the perspective of planetary health, more specifically its core ethical principles. The discipline of planetary health draws a connection between the health of humans, animals, and their environments and has set out five core ethical positions – of distributive justice, intergenerational responsibility, extending rights to non-human life, the precautionary principle, and the right to know the risk (Foster et al. 2020). The handbook will use predominantly the first three ethical principles as a point of structure. We welcome contributions on any political aspects of food security, ranging from issues of defining and measuring food security through questions of food production, food access, and right to food as well as nutrition to the consideration of links between food security and race, gender, and ethnicity – amongst many other topics. The abstracts would ideally link the suggested topic to the issue of planetary health and the core ethical principles as well, even if only briefly. Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words to hpfsdegruyter@gmail.com by 31 March 2023.
