Local food between nature and culture: from neighbour farm to terroir. Interview of Laurence Bérard
No full textV.A.: Laurence Bérard, you stand for one half of the famous Bérard and Marchenay duo whose works on terroir products in France simply cannot be ignored ; this is the reason why you accepted this interview for our AOF issue on local food products. I’ll just start with the plain question: when I say local products, what do you think of? L.B.: you’re not saying terroir products, for a change… I.T: That’s the point, is there a difference between the French expression terroir products and local p..

Distribution of lung density after strenuous, prolonged exercise
No full text The postexercise alteration in pulmonary gas exchange in high-aerobically trained subjects depends on both the intensity and the duration of exercise (G. Manier, J. Moinard, and H. Stoı̈cheff. J. Appl. Physiol. 75: 2580–2585, 1993; G. Manier, J. Moinard, P. Techoueyres, N. Varène, and H. Guénard. Respir. Physiol. 83: 143–154, 1991). In a recent study that used lung computerized tomography (CT), evidence was found for accumulation of water within the lungs after exercise (C. Caillaud, O. Serre-Cousine, F. Anselme, X. Capdevilla, and C. Prefaut. J. Appl. Physiol. 79: 1226–1232, 1995). On representative slices of the lungs, mean lung density increased by 0.040 ± 0.007 g/cm3 (19%, P < 0.001) in athletes after a triathlon. To verify and quantify the mechanism, we determined the change in pulmonary density and mass after strenuous and prolonged exercise using another exercise protocol and methodology for CT scanning. Nine trained runners (age 30–46 yr) volunteered to participate in the study. Each subject ran for 2 h on a treadmill at a rate corresponding to 75% of maximum O2 consumption. CT measurements were made before and immediately after the exercise test with the subject supine and holding his breath at a point close to functional residual capacity. The lungs were scanned from the apex to the diaphragm and reconstructed in 8-mm-thick slices. Attenuation values of X-rays in each part of the lung were expressed in Hounsfield units (HU), which are related to density (D): D = 1 + HU/1,000. No significant alteration in pulmonary density (0.37 ± 0.04 vs. 0.35 ± 0.03, not significant) was observed after the 2-h run test. Although lung volume slightly increased (change of 166 ± 205 ml, P < 0.05), lung mass remained stable because of a change in density distribution. We failed to detect any changes in postexercise lung mass, suggesting that other mechanisms need to be considered to explain the observed alterations in pulmonary gas exchange after prolonged strenuous exercise. </jats:p

No full textThe Everyday Life of Food: The Cultural Economy of the Traditional Food Market in England
No full textRapid transformation in the food retail supply system, accompanied by rational
economic efficiency, has marginalized the role that traditional markets play in
the UK food distribution system. Yet these markets survive, some even thrive,
implying that traditional food markets cannot be defined simply in terms of their
distribution function. Traditional food markets are part of the surrounding food
retail environment and whether they survive or thrive is dependent on wider
economic and societal dynamics and change. This thesis links the micro-level
activities of traditional food market exchange with how food systems, power
structures and consumption practices interact and transform each other over time
and space at the macro-level.
The research provides the first detailed assessment of traditional food markets in
England and examines their contemporary role in fresh food provisioning. The
thesis proposes a cultural economy framework that examines how food retail
restructuring and changing patterns of fresh food consumption have affected the
internal and external spaces and places that support the everyday economic
processes and cultural practices of traditional food market exchange. The
research employs a mixed methods approach with three inter-related phases.
First, the construction of a database of UK food markets identified 1,124
traditional food markets operating in the UK and the empirical analysis, using
geo-coded data and more detailed location quotient (LQ) analysis, mapped the
geographies and concentrations of traditional food markets and their links with
wholesale markets and farmers' markets. Second, data drawn from an email
questionnaire survey with traditional food market managers examined the effects
of retail restructuring and changing fresh food shopping habits on these markets.
In the third and final phase, detailed analysis from case study research in two
contrasting traditional food markets, in the North East and Eastern regions of
England, examined how the market as place significantly shapes the distributive
processes and practices of buying and selling that transform fresh food into the
`market product', and also explored the reciprocal relations between the
economic and the cultural and between value(s) and exchange. The research findings provide new insights into the traditional food retail sector.
The database and email survey analysis reveal how market geographies have
been affected by regulatory, economic and cultural change and demonstrate how
market and place are entwined in a relationship that has adapted to retail
restructuring and changes in fresh food provisioning. Detailed case study
analysis reveals how traditional markets are intimately linked with the regions
and cities where they are located and how different geographies, histories and
approaches to food and farming have moulded the relationship between market
and fresh food over time. Although the overall economic value of fresh food sold
on traditional markets is reduced in real terms, its symbolic value as `the market
product' is not. Historically and culturally, the traditional market may be
considered part of a `traditional' food system that aimed to provide fresh and
affordable food to all, but the contemporary market is a different place. The
findings reveal a marketplace frequently articulated through parallel fresh food
trading and shopping experiences at the supermarket and the farmers' market and
informed by practical and local knowledge systems. Knowledge systems help
define food-provisioning expertise in the traditional food system and the value
put on fresh produce depends on both economic and less tangible factors bound
up with cultural and moral understandings. How fresh food is assigned monetary,
social and symbolic value by market actors' everyday practices demonstrates a
`sliding scale' of moral and monetised values as fresh food takes on cultural
form The value(s) assigned to fresh food traded on the market fundamentally
shape how it performs in the contemporary context and ultimately determine
whether its role in fresh food provisioning declines, survives or thrives
