Globalization, Food Systems, and Cultural Adaptation

This exam investigates the impact of globalization on food systems and the resultant cultural adaptations. Key theoretical principles focus on how global food networks shape local eating practices and cultural identities.

The significance of this topic lies in its implications for understanding the transformation of cultural practices in response to global influences. This comprehension is essential for anthropologists studying hybrid cultures and food practices in a global context.

The assessment will gauge students' capacity to articulate the effects of globalization on local food systems and cultural adaptations. Evaluative discussions will emphasize verbal expression of these relationships.

Preparation will involve analyzing case studies that exemplify the ongoing negotiations of cultural identity through food in a globalized society.
