The food landscape has undergone significant transformations over the past decade, driven by a range of factors in both global and local farming and eating. This comprehensive and authoritative primer provides a comprehensive overview of the key changes that have shaped the world's food markets and food politics.
The politics of food are evolving rapidly, with obesity emerging as a more pressing concern in wealthy countries than hunger. Consumers, once content with affordable and convenient food, are increasingly seeking out food that is safe, nutritious, fresh, and produced by local farmers using fewer chemicals. The heavily subsidized and underregulated commercial farming industry is facing mounting pressure from environmentalists and consumer activists, while food companies are under scrutiny.
The distribution of power within this complex global food system is a subject of much debate. At the same time, the future of food politics is uncertain, both in the United States and internationally.
The third edition of Food Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know® has been extensively revised to reflect the latest developments and research on the global food landscape. This edition includes new material on the rise of China in world food markets and global food politics, the escalating risks to farming posed by climate change, the impact of COVID-19 on incomes and hunger, the devastating consequences of the war in Ukraine on food prices and trade, and remarkable scientific and technological breakthroughs such as CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing and the marketing of cell-cultured (animal-free) meats.
In addition, each chapter has been updated with the latest data on population growth, hunger and food security, trade conflicts, humanitarian aid, carbon farming, regenerative agriculture, holistic grazing, animal welfare, genetic engineering, and more.
Understanding the complex dynamics of food markets and food politics is crucial for making informed decisions about our food choices and the impact of our dietary habits on the environment and society. By exploring the latest developments and trends in the world of food, we can gain a deeper appreciation of the challenges and opportunities facing our food system and work towards a more sustainable and equitable future.
