| Description | This paper focuses on gender aspects of food consumption and prosumption in households in the context of contemporary crises. It brings together two academic perspectives: feminist food studies which study various aspects of food consumption and production but have addressed the home production to a lesser degree, and recent research on food self-provisioning which has often focused on households as units and has not studied the division of labour within the households. The paper is a gender and intersectional analysis of foodwork in individual households and is structured around these research questions: what is the division of labour regarding food within Czech households? What roles do men, women and people with other genders have in food practices, especially prosumption (food self-provisioning, home production, food sharing, gathering and planning) and how do they perceive these roles? The paper is based on mixed methods research design including 12 focus groups with various consumers/prosumers in different social and geographical context and a representative quantitative survey of Czech households. The research is in progress and will mostly present data obtained in 2024 and 2025 with some insights to the previous surveys carried out in Czechia. |
