We understand the title Roadsides as a metaphorical proxy for all sorts of engagements arising alongside infrastructure as they are imagined, contested, constructed, and maintained, and as they fall into disrepair. The journal offers space for reflection, for engaging in conversation with others, and a place to test new ideas before developing them into full-length articles and books.
The movement of foods as commodities and cultural artefacts rests on infrastructure as a form of engagement, care, and as an ongoing process. In this issue of Roadsides, we think through such cosmologies alongside the infrastructure that moves food around the world, and ask: how do foodways and their socio-cultural-cosmological scaffoldings condition each other?
