Over the last century, the industrialization of agriculture and
processing technologies have made food abundant and relatively
inexpensive for much of the world's population. Simultaneously,
pesticides, nitrates, and other technological innovations intended
to improve the food supply's productivity and safety have generated
new, often poorly understood risks for consumers and the
environment. From the proliferation of synthetic additives to the
threat posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the chapters in Risk
on the Table zero in on key historical cases in North America and
Europe that illuminate the history of food safety, highlighting the
powerful tensions that exists among scientific understandings of
risk, policymakers' decisions, and cultural notions of "pure" food.
