Anxieties over food safety and security are not just personal pathologies, but also have \u2018important social dimensions<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

This is what Professor Peter Jackson of the University of Sheffield is to argue in an upcoming public talk at Cardiff University\u2019s Glamorgan Building. It is, he believes, a \u201cmajor current issue\u201d with implications for urbanisation, sustainability and climate change.<\/p>\n

He contends that much needs to be done, including \u201cchanging our diets, eating seasonal food, growing our own fruit and vegetables and a host of other local initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The talk follows a Consumer Culture in an Age of Anxiety (CONANX) study<\/a> conducted by Jackson and his colleagues. Among other conclusions, they found that 51% of respondents believed that food is less safe now than 10 years ago.<\/p>\n

The talk will be held on 26 November at 5.30pm<\/a>.<\/p>\n
