Candan Türkkan’s book, Feeding Istanbul, recently translated into Turkish, explores the transformation of food provisioning in Istanbul, once the capital of the Ottoman Empire and now the financial heart of modern Turkey, beginning from the early 19th century. The work traces how the duty of provisioning the city, once a sovereign responsibility to prevent hunger and protect subjects, transitioned to the market, ultimately placing the responsibility on individuals—first as subjects, and later as citizens. Türkkan argues that food politics, particularly urban provisioning, should be central to understanding our political communities and our relationship with sovereign entities governing these communities. In addition to her book, Candan Türkkan actively contributes to the fields of SDG 1, SDG 2, SDG 16 with her research & through Loaf Lab. To Loaf Lab, Dr. Turkkan brings her expertise in agro-food systems, supply chains, and food politics, as well as interpretive methods of inquiry and qualitative methods of analysis. In 2022-3 she organized the Agrarian Lives seminar series, where she brought together the well-known academic experts with emerging scholars in the field.
