The Food and Agricultural History Network is a network for (especially young) researchers in this field, who present and discuss their own work as well as that from other scholars and new books. It is established a few years ago by Amber Striekwold (UU) and Anna Teijeiro (VU)
Food and Agricultural History Network website
Steps have been made by Anna Teijeiro and Amber Striekwold in creating a website for the Food and Agricultural History Network. The goal of this website is visibility and to have a base for our network. One of its goals is to have a space where people (journalists, academics et cetera) can find who are working on Food and Agricultural History in the Netherlands.
So you can expect us to email you with the request to send us a short bio if you want to be on the website. We also plan to put our events and meetings on this website, this will make it easier to share with others. Hopefully, in the future, we can also put news of members in our network (new publications, in the media et cetera) on the website.
We will keep you posted on developments.
Website voedselgeschiedenis.nl
Parallel to the FAHN website, Amber Striekwolda and Jon Verriet will revitalize the website www.voedselgeschiedenis.nl. This website is currently still in development but will contain information about Dutch Food and Agricultural History in the form of short blogs.
We hope that we can make use of the knowledge in this network to fill the website with interesting stories about Dutch Food and Agricultural History! The website is meant to inform students, journalists and other people who might be interested in Dutch Food and Agricultural History.
