The Anthropocene provides a useful way to think through all manner of human–environment processes and challenges. This is especially pronounced in relation to food and farming, which are heavily implicated in changes to the Earth's biophysical and chemical processes. Yet, despite burgeoning interest in the Anthropocene as a concept, it is comparatively absent from recent developments in food geography. This is surprising given the profound impacts of food and agriculture on biogeochemical flows and geographical strata, and given future predictions regarding ‘Anthropogenic climate change.’ The objective of this Theme Issue therefore, and the five papers that comprise it, is to redress this by directly connecting and drawing together social science scholarship that examines food geographies ‘in,’ ‘of’ and ‘for’ the Anthropocene. The Theme Issue papers engage with different aspects of the Anthropocene as spatial phenomena and here we integrate relevant arguments from each, alongside wider agri-food geographical scholarship, to explain what we mean by food geographies ‘in,’ ‘of’ and ‘for’ the Anthropocene. In doing so, we respond to Tsing and colleagues' (2019, Current Anthropology 60, S186–97) call for a spatial as well as temporal treatment of the Anthropocene. These spatial expressions are also key to the proliferation of terms that have accompanied developments in Anthropocene scholarship. We conclude by offering up some brief reflections on a future research agenda. An important first step is to conceptualise food geographies ‘in,’ ‘of’ and ‘for’ the Anthropocene, including accounts that ground and potentially unsettle food and the Anthropocene as Capitalocene (Moore, 2016, Anthropocene or Capitalocene? Nature, history, and the crisis of capitalism) and food and the Anthropocene as more-than-human (Haraway, 2016, Staying with the trouble: Making kin in the Chthulucen). A second step is to address key contemporary Anthropogenic agri-food relations, especially those that are already in flux or transition. A final priority for future research is to deepen and extend the ethics of care and moral food geographies of the Anthropocene imperative.

“在”、“属于”和“为”人类世的食品地理:介绍问题和主题

人类世提供了一种有用的方式来思考各种人类环境过程和挑战。这在与地球生物物理和化学过程的变化密切相关的粮食和农业方面尤其明显。然而,尽管人们对人类世作为一个概念的兴趣日益浓厚,但它在食品地理学的最新发展中却相对缺失。鉴于粮食和农业对生物地球化学流动和地层的深远影响,以及对“人为气候变化”的未来预测,这令人惊讶。因此,本期主题以及组成它的五篇论文的目的是通过直接联系和汇集社会科学学术来纠正这一问题,这些学术研究在“人类世”、“人类世”和“人类世”中研究食品地理。主题问题论文将人类世的不同方面作为空间现象进行了讨论,在这里我们整合了来自每个方面的相关论点,以及更广泛的农业食品地理学术,以解释我们所说的食品地理“在”、“来自”和“为”的含义人类世。在此过程中,我们回应了 Tsing 及其同事的 (2019,Current Anthropology 60, S186-97) 呼吁对人类世进行空间和时间处理。这些空间表达也是伴随人类世学术发展的术语激增的关键。最后,我们对未来的研究议程进行了一些简短的思考。重要的第一步是概念化“人类世”、“属于”和“为”人类世的食物地理,包括将食物和人类世作为资本新世的基础和潜在不安定因素(Moore, 2016, Anthropocene or Capitalocene? Nature, history, and资本主义危机)以及食物和人类世超越人类(Haraway,2016 年,与麻烦同在:在 Chthulucen 结亲)。第二步是解决关键的当代人为农业食品关系,特别是那些已经在变化或过渡的关系。未来研究的最后一个优先事项是加深和扩展人类世迫切需要的护理伦理和道德食品地理。
