SUMMARY:Food\, Memories\, and Agri-Science in Action: Reconsidering Food Re
 gimes in Asia
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored with the Asia Center and the Fairbank Center for C
 hinese Studies\n\nThis talk examines how agricultural practices\, food cro
 ps\, and related knowledge have influenced food regimes operated in Asia t
 hroughout periods of imperialism\, the Cold War\, and globalization. Three
  interventions are highlighted. First\, the case of Ponlai rice (蓬萊米
 ) demonstrates how farmers and agronomists navigated innovation in both co
 lonial and postwar contexts. Second\, the edamame case explores contempora
 ry regional trade regimes and changing development agendas\, while also re
 flecting agricultural legacies from the era of empire and the Cold War. Fi
 nally\, a new emphasis on the geopolitical knowledge regime (地政學) of
  Japanese colonialism reveals how colonial geographical knowledge was adap
 ted and transformed in envisioning the territorial expansion of the empire
 . Together\, these perspectives advance our understanding of Asian food re
 gimes as dynamic histories intertwined with science\, knowledge\, and powe
 r.
