Food Culture
• Food is a part of urban culture
• It changes over time
• It varies from place to place
• Urbanization changes the diet
• Politics of food very intimate to the politics
of the body

Cities
• Need to be fed
– Human inhabitants
– Animal inhabitants
– Food processing
• Cities are great concentrations of nutrients
![Page 7: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cities
• Food consumption generates ‘waste’
– Sewage, garbage
• Ecological closure suggests sewage,
garbage be recycled back into food
– Nutrients returned to farmers for re-use
![Page 8: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A Paradox
• Canadian cities offer
– concentrations of nutrients
– good farming soils
– ready urban markets
• But the Canadian urban soils are usually
unproductive for food
![Page 9: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But in China
• Cities traditionally produce a lot of their own food
– Fruits, vegetables, meat and fish
• Most urban Chinese shop daily, eat fresh foods harvested within 10-15 hours
• Ownership of refrigerators relatively low,
– access to fresh foods essential
• Night soil traditionally plays a strong role in Chinese food production

Toronto
• Toronto’s people once raised some of their own fruits, vegetables, meat
• Backyard gardening
• Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s
– Ate domestic table scraps
• In C19th, pigs, goats, sheep
– Urban pigs until 1919
– Large herds of suburban pigs ate city garbage
![Page 14: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Toronto
• In C19th, early C20th lots of urban stables
• For horses, cows
– For dairy and transportation
– Some dairies had both
• Streetcar system c. 1890 had 1800 horses
stabled on Frederick St
• Toronto consumed lots of oats, straw, hay
and animal feed
![Page 15: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Toronto
• Urban animal farming phased out in the
mid C20th
• Argued on “health” grounds, but mostly
exaggerated
– Barnyard smells offend residential nostrils
– Barnyard sounds offend residential ears
• Some health issues remain:
– Avian flu would thrive among backyard poultry
![Page 16: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Food & Cities
• Food is central to the urban relationship to
the rural hinterland
• Cities eat what the countryside produces
• Feeding cities is about agricultural
productivity, access to the urban market
– Issues of locality
![Page 17: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Wheat & Meat Food regime
• Europe industrialising, urbanizing in C19th
– European settlers migrate abroad
• Settler colonies develop an agriculture
capable of feeding European market with
C19th transportation technology
– Based around wheat and meat
![Page 18: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Wheat & Meat Food regime
• North America equips with railways,
farms etc., devoted to Wheat & Meat
regime
• Toronto, a rail hub becomes important
as a grain port
– Shipping to the USA
– Sustaining brewing & distilling in Toronto
![Page 19: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Gooderham & Worts
• Toronto’s biggest industrial complex in the
1880s
• The largest distillery in the British Empire
• Owned a bank, operated two railroads
• Grains fed the distillery
• Distillery slops used to operate massive
cattle & hog feedlots
![Page 20: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Wheat & Meat Diet
• Toronto, a rail hub, also becomes a major centre for livestock trading, shipping, slaughtering and packing
– Also leather making
• Serves the US market from 1860s
• Exports to Liverpool from 1870s
– Pork and bacon packing for the Liverpool market
– Toronto becomes ‘Hogtown’

Wheat & Meat Diet
• Global trading in food falls into the hands
of three major food traders
• These get their start in the wheat & meat
food regime
– Bunge
– Cargill
– ContiGroup
![Page 24: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Wheat & Meat Diet
• Leaves quite a legacy in food culture
• Recipes involving beef, pork, bread still
characteristic of the western diet

Green Revolution
• After 1945, agriculture in the Third World
commercialises
• Efforts to boost production with science &
technology
– High yield crop varieties
– Artificial fertiliser, pesticides, machinery, agribusiness
• Changes in transportation:
– Fast ships, continental refrigerated trucking, swift air
cargo
![Page 39: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
A new Food Regime
• Western diet alters to include “fresh”
tropical fruits and vegetables
• Distant places provide out-of-season fruits
and vegetables year round
• Emergence of a new Fruit & Vegetable
Food Regime
![Page 40: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Fruit & Vegetable Regime
• Rapidly develops after 1945
• Connected to the rise of mass consumption,
suburban supermarkets
– Refrigerators get larger, universal
– People add freezers
– Canadian women abandon the canning season
– Urban food becomes very cheap
• Food trade becomes heavily corporatized,
dominated by multinationals
![Page 41: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Fruit & Vegetable Regime
• The key zones for the wheat & meat
regime face decline
• Niagara fruit belt, Holland Marsh forced to
compete with California, Chile, Costa Rica,
China
– Niagara fruit canneries cease operation
– Local production damaged by cheap imports
![Page 42: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Fruit & Vegetable Regime
• Industrial production intensifies in the
urban food chain
– Questionable use of chemical additives,
addictive substances
• Marketing erodes and the sense of place
in food
– Food is imagineered, given new (false) place
attributes
![Page 43: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Fruit & Vegetable Regime
• All predicated on cheap (largely oil-based)
methods of production and transportation
– Depends on cheap oil
– Contributes to global warming
• Chemicals, land and water exploitation
make the regime unsustainable
![Page 44: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Alternatives
• Begins with sensing the problems:
– Small farmers locally, worldwide struggling in
an agribusiness-dominated economy
– Issues of environmental sustainability (soils,
water, oil, greenhouse gases)
– Issues of food purity, wholesomeness
(chemicals, additives, adulteration)
– Issues of food justice

Alternatives
• Geography plays an interesting role in many
responses
• An effort being made to recover locality in food
– locavores/Eat Local
• Efforts to restore food purity
– Organic, “no artificial ingredients”
Some initiatives meet multiple objectives:
Local, organic to reduce CO2, improve purity, trade with
local farmers

Locality & Food
• There seem to be three senses in which locality matters to food culture:
• (1) locavorism: eating local: produce raised or grown within a restricted geographical area
• (2) A strong sense of place attached to a food commodity
• (3) A distinctive food culture associated with a place
![Page 53: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
(3) Local Food Culture
• Some places seem to have distinct
cuisines
– New Orleans LA
– St John’s NF
• Others don’t
– Toronto ON?

Quebec
• Has a geographically distinct cuisine
– From elite food down to truck-driver food
![Page 55: Food - York University f16/food.pdf · own fruits, vegetables, meat •Backyard gardening •Backyard raising of chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits until the 1950s –Ate domestic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070717/5eddb692ad6a402d6668e171/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

• Scotland has regional single-malt
whiskeys
• Ontario has local wines, breweries,
Niagara peaches
• But Toronto’s food culture does not

city creatives
– With limited growing space and contaminated

(1) The Locavore Diet
• Food culture works best if you can taste
the difference
• A locavore diet based on moral
satisfaction won’t motivate most people
• Locavorism is expensive
– Despite activist dreams, it remains
inaccessible to the poor

(1) The Locavore Diet
• Most of Toronto’s farmer’s markets with
locavore/organic profiles
– Charge high prices ($4/lb for potatoes)
– Require vehicle access for producers and
customers
– Those within walking distance only found in
affluent areas

(1) The Locavore Diet
• Global population is 7 billion, will peak at 9
billion
• 5 billion urban people by 2030
• Chinese and Cuban-style local-urban food
production may well help to feed such
populations
• But present-day Toronto-style locavorism
won’t

Food Justice
• In most societies, especially capitalist ones, urban access to food is determined socially and economically
• There are ethnic differences of food culture
• There are major differences of access based on wealth, social status
– The rich and well-connected get privileged access

Food Justice
• Eating well is more important than eating a
lot
• Sometimes the wealthy eat less well than
the poor
– Early C19th English workers felt that eating
bread conveyed higher status than eating
potatoes
– Nutritionally better to eat potatoes

Food Justice
• But the wealthy and middle-class tend to
eat a better quality of food, have better
access
– Have good-quality grocery stores nearby
– Are able to afford good food

Food Deserts
• Urban districts in deep social need often
lack the market potential to attract quality
grocery stores
• Grocery retailing rearranges to serve the
wealthier areas
– Requires auto access
• “Food deserts’ appear in under-served
low-income neighbourhoods

Food Deserts
• Often the low-income neighbourhoods have high rates of disease, illness due to inadequate diet
– Diabetes, heart disease, rickets (historically)
• While lacking access to quality grocery stores
• Poor folk often forced to eat junk food and from convenience stores
– Both expensive

Food Deserts
• Most of the Toronto’s alternative food
culture
– Urban gleaning, farmers markets
• Focuses on the gentrified inner city
– And are too expensive for the poor
• Alternative food systems which deliver to
areas of deep social need are limited
– Foodshare has tried

Food Swamps
• A recently-coined term
• Areas within the city where it is easier to
get poor-quality fast foods than good
quality foods

Urban Food
• An area with huge research and policy
potential
• Limited scholarly exploration
• Huge gaps between needs and existing
policy
• Alternatives to conventional food policy
have interesting potential
– But remain very problematic
