Food Journeys: Place, Mobility, and the Everyday Food Practices of Young People

Citizen science approaches to crowdsourcing food environment data: A scoping review of the literature

“…A majority of included studies reported on crowdsourcing food environment data in the United States of America (USA) (n = 24), 18,19, with studies also conducted in Canada (n = 7), [45][46][47][48][49][50][51] Spain (n = 5), [52][53][54][55] Australia (n = 3), [56][57][58][59] South Africa (n = 1), 60 Colombia (n = 1), 61 Brazil (n = 1), 62 and Nigeria (n = 1). 63 Photovoice techniques were the most employed methodological approach (n = 25 studies), [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]42,[45][46][47][48][49][51][52][53][54][55]58,60 commonly used to understand overall access to healthy food. Fewer studies made purpose-built apps to collect price or nutritional composition data at scale (n = 3 studies).…”

Geographies of food beyond food: transfiguring nexus-thinking through encounters with young people in Brazil

“…Secondly, and relatedly, young people's experiences and spatial practices highlight mobility as a key point of articulation in the spatio-temporalities of food (Bosco et al, 2017;Jackson et al, 2018). Young people's experiences of food are shaped by movement; food is carried around, consumed in between spaces, chosen, or neglected based on the moving bodies of young people, their access to transport infrastructures, and their adapting to time regimes of work, study and commuting.…”

“…However, we note that young people's experiences in our study add further complexity to recent studies of time and food in terms of movement. The entanglement of time, food and mobilities contributes to an extensive body of research on children and young people's mobilities (Barker et al, 2009;Bosco et al, 2017;Horton et al, 2014), but importantly it progresses beyond well-rehearsed debates about obesity and obesogenic environments to expose other experiences of eating -and eating on the move -as constituent of foods' wider nexuses. Moreover, our data also enable an upscaling of analyses, beyond a focus on micro-spaces of canteens and homes.…”

Clinical geography: A proposal to embrace space, place and wellbeing through person-centered practice

“…It is a lens that incorporates insights from health and medical geography, such as therapeutic landscapes ( Bell et al, 2017 , Finlay, 2017 , Gesler, 1992 , Nagib and Williams, 2018 , Nagib and Williams, 2016 , MacKian, 2008 ) and geographies of care (e.g., ( Herron and Skinner, 2013 , England and Dyck, 2011 , Milligan and Wiles, 2010 , Power, 2008 , Parr, 2003 )). It synthesizes broader analytical frameworks across human geography, such as geographic theories of place attachment (e.g., ( Rowles, 2018 , Phillips et al, 2011 , Wiles et al, 2009 , Rosenbaum et al, 2007 , Finlay et al, 2018 )), mobility (e.g., ( Cheng et al, 2019 , Blunt, 2016 , Loebach and Gilliland, 2016 , Loebach and Gilliland, 2014 , Howell et al, 2017 , Finlay and Bowman, 2017 )), labor and work (e.g., ( Strauss, 2018 , Castree, 2007 , Ellis et al, 2004 , Dyson, 2008 )), food and diet (e.g., ( Guthman, 2011 , Shannon, 2015 , Sonnino, 2016 , Bosco et al, 2017 , Pettygrove and Ghose, 2018 , Reisman and Fairbairn, 2020 )), and the home (e.g., ( Dyck et al, 1998 , Williams, 2002 , Imrie, 2004 , Nowicki, 2014 , Liu, 2020 , Muñoz, 2017 )). Operationalizing diverse geographic insights represents a powerful approach to harnessing translational science ( Onken et al, 2014 ) in supporting, empowering, and enhancing personal health and wellbeing.…”
