Food is more than just what we eat. It connects us to our histories, cultures and communities, shapes economies and environments, and influences how we understand the world around us. 

Explore Food and Community, the Library’s food collection, bringing together books that examine food from a variety of perspectives, including: the cultural history of global cuisines, the science of nutrition and flavour, the politics of food production, and the future of sustainable food systems. 

This collection covers topics including Indigenous foodways, the history of Chinese and Italian cuisine, the rise of fast food, food advertising, agricultural practices, and the relationship between food, climate change and social justice. The collection also features cookbooks, and practical guides to nutrition and cooking.
