The Culture & Agriculture Sensorium explores the intersections between sensory experiences, agri-food systems, and the socio-political conventions surrounding food production. This initiative, which began in 2018, will expound on the ways that sense acts both as a metaphor and as a body of knowledge through which we understand the interactions between humans, food, agriculture, and the environment.
