The '''Summer School in the Food Commons''' is an intensive educational program scheduled for 15-19 June 2026 in Wageningen, Netherlands, focused on governing food as a commons rather than a commodity.
|
||
|
||
== Description ==
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
"The political, legal, and academic calls for governing food and its varied material and cultural components as a commons rather than a commodity are growing in importance and recognition. Food commons are increasingly recognized as essential to a number of interconnected struggles for the right to food, food security, food sovereignty, food justice, and degrowth. At the same time, food commons are often overlooked as relics of a distant past, doomed to enclosure, or too messy to govern. Together we will investigate why this is the case, and identify opportunities for research and action.
|
||
|
||
This five day intensive summer school introduces students to inspiring case studies of actually existing food commons through field visits and lectures, while testing the relevance of different theoretical and methodological approaches. Together we will explore and apply different theoretical perspectives to understand different types of food commons – ranging from food and seeds, to soil and land, to food knowledge and public health – in diverse rural and urban contexts. We will draw on transdisciplinary expertise in food studies, law and legal studies, sociology and geography, and community economies, to develop a relational, culturally, and materially grounded approach to understanding food and food systems as commons. Finally we will experiment with a variety of arts-based and action-research methods for growing the food commons."
