食物浪费已成为社会学和地理学学术界日益关注的焦点。本文主要从食物体系理论的角度探讨了当代人们对食物浪费的兴趣高涨。粮食制度分期用于考察三个时代：1）最近出现的食品浪费政治中的反政权活动，2）更早的，二战前和战时的废物管理，以及3）二战后消除食品浪费作为一种文化关注。基于这三点，该论点提出，食物制度的分期能够为食物浪费文化定位的更广泛转变提供某种结构形式，但并不能对当代围绕浪费的政治提供令人满意的解释。借鉴20世纪中叶垃圾文化转型的材料，确定了三种动力：可测量性、紧缩性和可食用性，它们既有助于将当代垃圾政治置于更长期的历史框架内，也挑战食品制度框架，扩大其关注范围，将垃圾的力量纳入到与政权的本体论政治竞争的力量中。
Food waste has emerged as an increasing focus of scholarship in both sociology and geography. This article examines the contemporary upsurge of interest in food waste primarily using the lens of food regime theory. Food regime periodization is used to examine three eras: 1) the most recent emergence of counter-regime activities in food waste politics, 2) much earlier, pre-WWII and wartime waste management, and 3) post-WWII erasure of food waste as aculturalconcern. Based on these three, the argument proposes that food regime periodization is able to provide some structural shape to wider shifts in the cultural positioning of food waste but does not provide a satisfactory account of contemporary politics around waste. Drawing on material from the mid-20th century transition in waste culture, three dynamics are identified: measurability, austerity and edibility which both help situate contemporary waste politics within a longer historical framework and also challenge the food regime framework to broaden its focus to include the power of waste to contest the ontological politics of regimes.
