Prof. Raymond A. JUSSAUME Jr. 

(AGST Project Professor)

Michigan State University / USA

"We are beginning to recognize that an increasing number of problems are global level problems... There is also a group of people who are very much interested in how to regulate the commons or work on development issues on a very community level... Connecting the macro and micro has always been a challenge in social science and we have never done it really well, I think that's what I see more as an evolution..."

Prof. Maria FONTE 

(AGST Project Professor)

University of Naples Federico II / Italy

"My message to students who want to approach the field of food studies is to look in their contexts for initiatives and actors who are working for the transition towards a more sustainable and just model of food production and consumption and support them with their research and their knowledge."
