| Description: |
Food, from cultivation to consumption, provides the chief link between humankind and the "natural" environment. This book analyzes the apparently opposed imperatives of political economy and sustainability. |
| Synopsis: |
We live in a society as dominated by food preference as by sexual preference, as obsessed with eating too much as with eating too little. In this accessible, cross-disciplinary text, David Goodman and Michael Redclift look at the development of the modern food system, integrating different bodies of knowledge and debate concerning food, agriculture, the environment and the household. They link changes in our diet and concern with the environment to many of the problems afflicting developing countries: food shortages, poor nutrition and wholesale environmental destruction. |
