The aim is to illustrate how food is expressed in national syllabuses of home and consumer studies at present and in the past, and its operationalization into sustainable development. Using qualitative content analysis, the results show three themes: (a) maintenance of the family and household, (b) maintenance of the earth’s resources and (c) maintenance of the future generations. The first theme is characterized by concrete tangible judgements based on experiences of family members and is predominant in earlier syllabuses. The second and third themes are predominant in later syllabuses and show a movement into complex and abstract contemplations of global ecological, social and economic conditions for the purchase of food. The presentation of food in relation to sustainable development has changed over the years, consequently demonstrating the didactic challenge of home and consumer studies.

The aim of the present study is to explore and describe characteristic features of knowledge content regarding food-related education, implemented from a perspective of sustainable development in a teacher's classroom practice of Home Economics. With a single case study design and critical case sampling, 14 lessons in Grade 8 (pupils aged 14 to 15 years) were analysed using qualitative content analysis. The analysis reveals a knowledge content that places the practice of creating a self/homemade meal in the centre of implementing a perspective of sustainable development, which emerges in three main categories: sustainable food selections, sustainable cooking approaches, and sustaina...
