Fieldwork Notes

[LT] Energija, kurią išmetame: maistas ir klimato kaita

Visi šioje planetoje valgome, tačiau kaip gauname maistą, ką laikome maistu ir kaip jį vartojame skiriasi bei keitėsi per istoriją. Per maistą atsiskleidžia socialiniai, kultūriniai ir ekonominiai kontekstai, o kalbėdami apie maisto produkciją galime suprasti, ką kiekvieno mūsų pasirinkimai reiškia ekosistemai ir kokią reikšmę turi klimato kaitai.
