Özet:

The University of Istanbul Journal of Sociology (ISSD): Can you briefly introduce yourself? Mustafa Koç (MK): In 1972 I entered the Boğaziçi University to study electrical engineering and graduated as a sociologist. After a year of work at the Institute of Public Health at the University of Ege in 1979, I went to the University of Waterloo in Canada for a master's degree with my wife Sedef Arat-Koç. I also finished my doctorate in sociology at the University of Toronto. The thesis position in Turkey was related to the problems of small family in tobacco production. I started my job at Ryerson University in 1993. In the 1990s I joined the International Sociological Association’s Agricultural and Food Sociology Research Committee (RC40) and was a secretary of the committee for a while. RC40 publishes the International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food and contributes significantly to globalization and supply chains in agriculture and food sectors. RC40 was my second school. It has played an important role in the transition from rural sociology to agriculture and food sociology. In 1994, I started working on food security with the Center for Studies in Food Security (Centre for Studies in Food Security), which I contributed to its establishment. In 2005, I played a role in the organizations of a civil society organization named Food Secure Canada (FSC) and the Association for Food Studies (CAFS) of the Food Research Association and was the founder chairman. The Canadian Food Studies magazine, published by CAFS, has become a publication body that has made significant contributions to this issue. My life was a great hobby. I also like to make food. The hobby of a person is pleasant.
