Inhaltsangabe

In this book, an international and multi-disciplinary team of academics reviews the recent research on food. Current food policies are assessed and their implications for both advanced and underdeveloped societies are set out in a style accessible to both specialists and informed general readers. The book covers the relation between diet and disease in conditions of affluence and of scarcity and famine; the symbolic, social and political meaning of food; gender issues; agricultural food production and poverty; industrial food production and the politics and regulation of its distribution; and international justice and its ethical basis.
