食品研究
食品研究 是專門研究食物與科學、藝術、歷史和社會等領域聯繫的學科。它與其他 有關食物的學科(例如營養學、農業,以及美食學和烹飪藝術)最大的分別,是在於它不是去研究食物原料生產、烹調和食用的過程,而是去研究食物在眾多不同的學術領域中的地位以及價值,因此需要涉及不同學者的專業來完成研究。
領域現況
作為一個新興跨學科的研究方向,它與流行文化都有著一定的聯繫。2006年,美國作家、新聞學教授麥可·波倫的著作《雜食動物的困惑》就成為紐約時報五大最佳非小說類書籍之一。
議題

其餘討論亦喚起大眾對上世紀新出現食品科技,特別是化學肥料和基因改造食品的關注。
食品研究的學者常會從周遭的科學和經濟問題入手。
