Contents

I want to thank the many farmers and local actors who gave me lots of their precious time in my fieldwork and all my colleagues and students in France, Europe and Brazil I am particularly grateful to Claudia Schmitt, Juliano Palm, Alfio Brandenburg and Thaise Guzzati with whom I elaborated the analyses of the Brazilian case studies. Thanks to David Goodman for encouraging me to publish this book, based on my habilitation work, and Jean-Paul Billaud who supported me in this habilitation process (a French academic oddity). I also want to thank the Bloomsbury editing team and finally the anonymous reviewers of the preliminary version of my manuscript. And, of course, thanks to all my friends and family for all the good ideas and things we share, besides all food- and nature-related ones.

While most human communities have long relied and some still rely on a universal pattern that holistically articulates agriculture, food and the local environment, these elements have been disconnected through the processes of modernization and industrialization. These processes have had the effect of increasing not only detrimental environmental impacts but also health problems all over the world. The close articulation of agriculture, food, environment and health may seem evident but it is increasingly problematic. The quality of food products and diets is impaired by intensified systems and the increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods (Louzada et al. ).
