Traditional technology cannot help in producing adequate food to feed the Nigerian people. So it is necessary to develop science and technology. There is some effort to make to not only adapt foreign technologies, but develop indigenous technology

It is not always evident how race matters to the study of food. The paper proposes how theories of race are being used in the literature. Most literature implicitly relies on the social construction of race to consider representations
and performances of race in contexts of eating or producing food. Explicit engagement with the concept of race and its theoretical foundations is important because it allows scholars to make arguments about how racism shapes food systems, to understand how race
changes through food, and to consider how food might enable different theorizations of race.

Civil society and urban food insecurity : analyzing the roles of local food organizations in Johannesburg
Civil society ; Community ; Food ; Food security ; Gauteng ; Johannesburg ; Poverty ; Social geography ; Social organization ; South Africa ; Urban social movement
This paper analyzes the landscape of Johannesburg’s Food security civil society organizations (FSCSOs). Results indicate that while they fulfill many important roles, an uneven distribution of resources, institutional instability
, and underdevelopment of food security social movements nevertheless weakens their ability to be effective service providers and vehicles of broader social change. It argues that their conceptualization has, so far, been poorly developed; and as a consequence

The oldest human populations were of very small numbers because of little food at their disposal. Up to the relatively recent time, all technological progress led to a bigger amount of food and consequently to the population growth. However

Race, culture, and practice: segregation and local food in Birmingham, Alabama
Alabama ; Birmingham ; Blacks ; Community ; Food ; Food policy ; Isolation ; Race ; Residential segregation ; Social geography ; United States of America ; Whites
This study uses a combination of geographic information systems and Bourdieuan social theory to analyze the development of a food policy council in Birmingham, Alabama. The questions it inves-tigates are: What is the relationship between race
and culture? How is this relationship manifest in practice within the alternative food and agriculture movement. This article shows how the racially segregated conditions of metropolitan Birmingham forge divergent habitus among Blacks and Whites in the region
. Consequently, Whites have difficulty producing practices and interpretations of those practices that Blacks can recognize as legitimate, and vice versa. As a result, the food policy council emerges from and remains trapped within a space of Whiteness, and few

Labour, migration and the spatial fix : evidence from the UK food industry
Drawing on experiences in the UK food industry, this article shows that in situ restructuring has become hegemonic and that an associated “good migrant worker” rhetoric has emerged. This rhetoric has two dimensions. Most obviously, low-wage
