“…Indeed, the way in which women’s bodies are selectively transcribed on digital platforms run from liberating to obfuscating, and suffer from exclusions built into the technological form. Moreover, there are inherent limits to the use of food as politics for as Krishnendu Ray (2007, 56) points out, “there is something about food, which is both so essential to life and still unavailable to so many…that makes any playfulness, any degree of aestheticization, open to the charge of excess and moral decay.” In a similar vein, Bruner and Hahn (2015, 214) operationalize irony on Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution to show how “hunger, undernourishment, food insecurity, obesity . .…”

“Food Porn” as Postfeminist Play

The styling and online circulation of food photography has become a phenomenon endemic to social media. In this article, I explore this digital “food porn” within the feminized space of food blogs and contextualize it within a postfeminist culture rife with contradictions about women’s bodies, consumption, and sexuality. Drawing on postfeminist and feminist corporeal theory, I historicize the longstanding associations between food and the female body, eating and sex. I then analyze digital “food porn” as a form of women’s media production that draws on conventional representations of the female body in pornography, fashion, and popular culture. It is these qualities that distinguish digital “food porn” from “food porn” on other media platforms, and allow it to offer useful insights into the postfeminist subject’s construction of digital femininity. I maintain that digital “food porn” can be read as a playful, pleasurable, and entrepreneurial response to postfeminist contradictions.

“…In addition, it is increasingly clear that food security is strongly related to other issues, such as changes in the global environment and energy markets, and that the policy environment is undergoing transformation and globalization (Atkins & Bowler, 2016;Buller, Henry, 2017;Groenewald, 2016;Hawkes & Popkin, 2015;Isakson, 2014). For reasons of food security has become a concept that finds broad resonance among academic institutions and in policy considerations (Bruner & Hahn, 2015;Candel, 2014;Nestle, 2010;Winter, 2004).…”

The study forecasting has been undertaken to fit different trend equations like time series models for corn and also made the future forecasts. The study was carried out in Indonesia using time series data from 1986 to 2017. Forecasting time series is a need in the agriculture sector or other fields. We present here the software R as an important tool for forecasting and especially for studying the time series models. We review the past 29 years of research into time series forecasting. Forecasting is used to analysis the past and current behaviour to forecasts the future corn production and consumption which intern provide an aid to decision-making and in planning for the future effectively and efficiently. Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model is the most widely used model for forecasting time series. In achieving corn self-sufficiency, there are many obstacles and challenges faced, including the decline in the rate of increase in agricultural land production, the conversion of agricultural land into non-agricultural land, sick or unproductive land, efforts to expand the area difficult and the increasing population. Agriculture is the backbone of the Indonesian economy. Corn is a very important need after rice for the food needs of the Indonesian people. This study generally aims to analyze the production and consumption of corn in Indonesia. Specifically aims to project corn production and consumption in Indonesia for the next five years (2018-2022), as well as its implications for corn self-sufficiency in Indonesia. The data used in this study is in the form of time series data for 31 years (1986-2017) and analyzed in forecasting Holt-Winters' methods and data processing using Microsoft Office Excel and R Software. The results of the study obtained results of the projection of corn production and consumption in Indonesia in 2018-2022 shows that Indonesia has a surplus of corn until 2022 so the government must be able to maintain it.

“…Recent literature has focused on food symbolism and its contribution to (political) communication of environmental issues (Bruner and Meek, 2011;Todd, 2011). Building on the imagery of dead fish, activists managed to capture the complexity of the coastal pollution as larger than a mere 'marine environmental incident'.…”

In the aftermath of a mass fish death along the coastal area of Central Vietnam in April 2016, disdain and frustration of the public soon escalated into widespread protests. These protests arose in response to evasion and oppressive tactics from the government. Using discourse analysis, this chapter identifies the different narratives between the government and the activists. This mismatch reveals challenges to governance in Vietnam in the form of a lack of participatory platform. The chapter explores how the theme of fish contributed to the narrative of protestors in rural and urban areas in Vietnam and where they differ. Our analysis indicates that food, as a sociopolitical lens, has seemingly unified the voices of rural and urban protestors and might have potential to consolidate the existing discourses on civil society. The socio-political imagery of masses of dead fish depicted a life-threatening reality that transcended mere everyday discomfort or technical failures. The fish death, as reconstructed through various media sources, highlighted the role of food as a medium for transboundary socio-political activism. In this sense, food and the related discourse has a bounding effect on some narratives but also functions as a frame to illustrate the challenged relationship between the government and its people.
