In doing so, it challenges less sustainable lifestyles that are encouraged by a social system based on unlimited economic growth. In considering the diverse societal settings in which individuals and communities eat, the book offers opportunities to reflect on the concept of belongingness, or the lack of it, when eating. It examines what, how, and why we eat together and considers what the future of our food and eating may look like. A wide range of themes are explored, with examples from Finland, Algeria, Europe, and Asia drawing on topics such as and cases for interdisciplinary research, such as environmental impact, social inclusion, happiness, health, and well-being, to name a few of the areas where the importance of eating together is stressed across disciplines. The book explores the lived experience of diners and the contexts in which commensality takes place in the family circle and in communities. It emphasises how the practice of eating together plays a crucial role in satisfying deep-seated social needs. The book bridges the gap between science, governance, professional practice, and everyday dieters to provide hands-on benefits and insights. It will be of interest to researchers and policymakers in the areas of food studies, food policy, cultural studies, gastronomy tourism, psychology, global health, religion, and spirituality.  aOpen licence0https://oapen.org/article/rights  aeng 7aEconomics, Finance, Business and Management2thema 7aHospitality and service industries2thema 7aHospitality, sports, leisure and tourism industries2thema 7aIndustry and industrial studies2thema  abelongingness  acommensality  acommunity  aconviviality  adining  aeating  aeating together  aeco-community  afamily meal  afood sharing  afood tourism  agastronomy  ahealth  aspirituality  awellbeing1 aLestar, Tamas4edt1 aManuela Pilato, Manuela4edt1 aSéraphin, Hugues4edt0 aOAPEN Library.40uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/104450zFree-to-read: OAPEN Library/DOAB: description of the publication70  c36704d36704
