Making food, producing sustainability

Many contemporary approaches to environmental sustainability focus on the end-consumer. In this panel, we explore lessons from small food producers for future development of HCI as an agency of sustainable ways of being. We argue that attention to the relationship small producers have to the environment and their experiences of interrelations between environmental, economic, and social sustainability suggest new foundational issues for sustainable HCI research. Keywords sustainability, sustainable HCI, agriculture, fishery, food production, permaculture, urban agriculture ACM Classification Keywords H5.m.
