Call for book proposals: Routledge Studies in Global Food Translation 
Book series

General editors: Saihong Li, Chris Shei, Renée Desjardins, Adrián 
Fuentes Luque
Translation is pivotal through addressing communication and media 
concerns like food recalls, allergies, and safety issues, but also in 
navigating the intricacies of global food industries and trade. Equally 
important is its role in crafting and disseminating global narratives 
about food that directly relate to the ecosystems of humans, animals, 
and the environment in the era of globalization. This book series, 
entitled Routledge Studies in Food Translation of World Languages, aims 
to address the need for extensive global research into the evolving 
interconnection between food and translation in world languages. It 
holds immediate relevance in addressing the intricate dynamics of the 
globalization of food culture, diverse culinary traditions, and 
contemporary challenges in the rapidly evolving food industry. This 
series serves as valuable research, offering interdisciplinary insights 
for students, scholars, and professionals. Crucially, it enhances our 
understanding of how food translation impacts consumer choices, aligning 
with the growing demand for informed consumption, and providing 
businesses with a strategic edge. Highlighting global challenges, 
cultural sensitivity, and an inclusive ecological framework, the series 
explores the nuanced intersections of human, animal, and environmental 
concerns within the evolving landscape of food production and 
consumption. It aims to respond to the imperative for systematic global 
research on the evolving interplay between food, media and translation 
across world languages.
