Some suggestions for Research topics

Back to Philosophy of Food

• Any topic in “Food studies” is open to you, so try some searches to see the domain for this interdisciplinary field.

Here are some specific ideas:

• Visit and interview people at the Grain Shed Cooperative (Spokane) about their unique approach to bread and business.
• Visit and volunteer at 2nd Harvest to learn more about food security in Spokane.
• Visit Pure Eiyre Dairy in Othello to tour their operation.
• Learn about Link Foods and alternative food sources, such you would see at the Perry Food market (starting in the Spring).
• Look into research on animal production and climate change.
• Read about “gastronomic trends” like coffee, beer, and chocolate.
• Look into corporate consolidation in the food industry.
• Go further in tracking recent discoveries in microbiome research.
• Study eating disorders and the latest research.
