Call for Paper: 3rd International Medieval Conference in Lorsch: 31.03 – 02.04.22

From Book to Field – from Field to Book. Entangled Theory and Practice in Dietetics and Agriculture (c. 1300–1600 CE)
Man-made climate change has recently led to intense debates on agriculture, food production and consumption. Industrial agriculture and livestock farming are criticised for contributing to global warming. Alternative approaches are developing and new forms of interaction between humans and nature are emerging. Simultaneously, modern technologies and media are substantially changing ways of accessing dietetic information and methods of acquiring food. This is not an unprecedented issue in human history. In the past, times of change have triggered profound transformation processes in economic practices and consumer behaviour.
