Food culture is a multidisciplinary field of study that examines the ways in which food is produced, consumed, and perceived within a particular society. It encompasses a wide range of topics including the history of cuisine, food rituals and traditions, culinary practices, food sustainability and ethics, food politics, and food trends. Food culture researchers often explore the social, cultural, economic, and environmental factors that influence people's food choices and behaviors, as well as the impact of globalization on food cultures around the world. Overall, food culture research seeks to understand the role of food in shaping individual and collective identities, as well as its significance in shaping social relationships and cultural practices.
