“Foodscapes”

“FOODSCAPES is an aerial component of my Feed the Planet project, which aims to comprehensively explore the global food supply and address the increasing challenge of feeding the growing human population, projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, without further encroaching on natural lands. Gaining a deeper understanding of food production and its environmental impacts is crucial for making informed decisions. To accomplish this, I utilize professional drones to capture elevated perspectives, as they offer the most effective means of showcasing the immense scale required to sustain the entire human population.”

Aerial Foodscapes. Photographer George Steinmetz “spent a decade documenting food production in more than 36 countries on 6 continents, 24 US states, and 5 oceans”. Aerial photos are an illuminating way to document the scale of human food production.

Reading a book about these American food writers in France in the 70s and most of them are kind of bitchy and take themselves super seriously and a couple of them are frenemies.... they have passive aggressive debates about wine and food and try to feel superior to one another, insufferable behavior bug the discussion around food and the changing American foodscape is interesting

The Food of a Younger Land: The WPA's Portrait of Food in Pre-World War II America

I am a big fan, anyhow, of Kurlansky's work, I think he manages to thread the needle of being easily readable 'pop history' for people who aren't into academic reading, without drawing insane and ahistorical conclusions that rival a part-skim mozzarella for the stretch. I recommend pretty much any of his books that I have read, and he is probably my favorite food historian currently working. I don't know that I can recommend in this on the strength of Kurlansky's work, and it might be fair to say that even if you loved Kurlansky's other stuff, this might not be for you. Instead of a through-line about one item of food, it is actually a rescuing of an old WPA project that was nearly lost time, that examined foodways in America before WWII, which dramatically changed the American foodscape forever. These foods were highly regionalized, specific, and much contested between regions less than 100 miles apart. It's an America we wouldn't even recognize. That he got admittance to these old records, went through them, and edited them into a collection that provides this kind of illumination for food nerds is so exciting for me. He's put together an idea of what the foodscape might have been like before all the changes to American food, while acknowledging the troubled and scattered nature of the project. Loved this book as a food history nerd, but might not be for everyone.

From sleepy 16th-century village to 21st-century internet sensation, Sułoszowa in southern Poland (population 6,000) earned millions of online fans after this aerial image of the one-road town went viral in 2020. It was the field system of narrow strips of farmland attached to the back of each house that caught everyone's eye. Known as a Waldhufendorf, or "forest village," the town has a layout that was common in Central Europe during the late Middle Ages, as settlers reclaimed forests in hilly or mountainous areas. Each farmer received an equal allotment of roughly 40 acres — enough for one family to farm without help from others. Although the strips have narrowed over the years as they've been divided and passed to each generation, they still produce wheat, oats, potatoes, cabbage and strawberries.
