The module will analyse the geographical factors influencing the location and distribution of agricultural activity, food marketing, regulation, consumption and dietary change, with specific reference to inequalities within and between the global North and South as have emerged over the last two centuries primarily focussed on the global North food economy. Students will develop specialist knowledge and understanding of geographies of food, including a range of established techniques and research methodologies.

The module will introduce the political economic and social workings of the dominant food system at various scales and also encourage students to consider perspectives of gender and equity. The module will cover the local policy context, experiences and practices of food production and/or consumption relevant in Wales, the United Kingdom, Europe and globally.

Students will work collaboratively to plan field based activities. By the end of the course, students will be able to interpret, use, evaluate and communicate effectively information about a wide range of data about food systems, experiences and wider issues of sustainable food and drink development.

The study of food in all its dimensions offers opportunities to explore a wide range of pressing questions in the area of sustainable communities and wider areas of governance and spatial analysis across human and environmental geography. Food and drink development affects all and everything in some-way whether spatially-focused on production systems, cultural gastronomy and historical change or place based food regeneration - all connect people to growing, producing and consuming spaces, local land management to international markets regulations and markets. Global changes within physical and political climates suggest contexts where a clear understanding of issues such as wise resource use and its impacts of food and drink are important theoretical concepts of innovation and governance are key to investigate the changing geographies of food and drink which include impacts of both unsustainable practices in periods of scarcity and abundance, dietary balance and malnutrition.
