“…Secondly, I suggest that the ethical minimum of food practices is to sustain Earth as a relatively safe operating space (see Willett et al 2019). The Covid-19 crisis highlights that we are already losing that safe operating space, with zoonotic pandemics not only being related to wild animal meat, but also becoming more likely through both livestock's disproportionate land use narrowing nonhuman habitats and pathogens spread through animal by-products (Fornace et al 2013). Based on the benefits of SOA's short shadow, performing VFP predominantly -not necessarily exclusively -becomes a global responsibility of vegans, vegetarians, and 'meat eaters' (or, then, flexitarians) as well as consumers and producers alike.…”

Food that Matters: Boundary Work and the Case for Vegan Food Practices

Meat and, less so, dairy are contested for their significant ethical and social‐ecological impacts. Abjuring animal products, veganism is conventionally treated as a dietary ideology related to consumer identities. Drawing upon practice and materialist turns, this article explores variations in the performance of veganism and how its boundaries are drawn. Yet, rather than an eating practice, I suggest to look at veganism more broadly and conceptualised as a food practice which also involves provisioning. By example of stockfree organic agriculture (SOA), a production‐based, processual understanding is outlined by which plant foods are ‘vegan’ if animal by‐products are not used as fertilisers in crop cultivation. Thereof, a conceptual case is made to shift the focus away from veganism as a consumer identity and towards performative vegan food practices (VFP) as a global responsibility to reduce the ‘long shadow’ of livestock and maintain Earth as a relatively safe operating space.

Academic, policy, and public debates have increasingly led to calls for the adoption of plant rich diets. Livestock’s ‘long shadow’—its high environmental footprint—and the need to transform food systems towards sustainable practices are widely recognized. However, despite their incremental normalization, vegan and vegetarian diets can still lead to fierce debates between people with different dietary identities. Arguing that identity-based understandings of who or what is ‘vegan’ obfuscate necessary changes in production and provisioning practices, this contribution develops a wider understanding of vegan food practices by shedding light on stockfree organic agriculture’s organization, biomateriality, and its ‘short’ shadow. The chapter makes a contribution to food system organizing with a practice approach.
