ABSTRACT This special issue raises a glass to 50 years of the Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition (SAFN). Founded in 1974 as the Committee for Nutritional Anthropology within the Society for Medical Anthropology, SAFN is today a Mid‐Size section of the American Anthropological Association. SAFN has long been a place where scholars from across the discipline come together around the shared recognition of the central importance of food and nutrition in human life – to our individual bodies, our social bodies, and our body politic. The issue is designed as conversations around three tables: Genealogies, State of the Field, and Calls for the Future. Dig into these celebratory reflections, reports, and future visions penned by the field's founding mothers, established scholars, and emerging voices.
