由"三农"到"三食":食学天下观与食事自主知识体系OACHSSCD

"Food is the first necessity of the people"reflects a unique knowledge system of food affairs in Chinese thought that can be termed a"global vision of food studies"(Tianxia,All Under Heaven).The proposal of food studies represents the establish-ment of an independent knowledge system of food affairs.Focusing on the"Three Rural Issues"concerning farmers,agricul-ture,and rural areas,as well as the discipline of"Three Rural Studies",this paper puts forward the"Three Food Issues"(Shi-ance)concerning food consumers(eaters),the food industry,and food order,and establishes an independent knowledge system of"Food Affairs Studies"(Shiology).The"Three Food issues"can be further divided into the"Five Food demands":food secu-rity for basic subsistence,food abundance,food safety,food for longevity,and food sustainability.All these require the unique-ness of their independent knowledge system to be established from the perspective of the global vision of food studies.Although the"Three Rural Issues"have been established as an independent knowledge system of China's agricultural economics discipline in recent years,their connotation and extension are insufficient to cover the"Three Food issues"and the"Five Food demands".As a discipline centered on Shiance,Food Affairs Studies can form a complete disciplinary system and bring about holistic gover-nance of food-related issues.The explicit establishment of the implicit"knowledge system of food affairs"enables the systematic study of food-related issues represented by the"Three Foods"issues,the construction of a comprehensive interdisciplinary field of food affairs,and thus the formation of a global public good with an independent knowledge system,so as to promote global governance of food affairs and the achievement of sustainable development goals.
