Food Wars The Global Battle for Mouths, Minds and Markets

The emergence of global markets is having a far-reaching impact on what we eat and profound implications for public health, world food security, social justice and individual quality of life. What matters now is not just what we eat, but how and where it has been produced, distributed and processed and the assumptions upon which this production is based ? a global politics of food and health. Food Wars argues that two conflicting paradigms (one developing food around integrating the ?life sciences?, the other around ?ecology?) are battling to replace the dominant industrial-productionist model of the 20th century, both grappling to attract investment and to win the moral, social and political debate over the appropriate use of biology and food technology.
