The production, consumption and appreciation of food are among the
most important and fundamental aspects of life. The supply of
nutritious and safe food is pivotal to societal wellbeing and
stability, as well as to personal happiness. Revolutions in
agriculture, in food processing and in understanding of the
priorities of consumers have enabled us to create a stable supply
of affordable food even as populations have grown and society has
changed. These dramatic and beneficial changes in how we produce
food have been underpinned by advances in science in general and by
chemistry in particular.Food and its production is now facing
unprecedented and significant challenges from several directions
including population growth, changes in expectations, increases in
diet related chronic diseases, globalisation and, perhaps most
significantly, sustainability. The flow of increased urbanisation
means the vast majority of people are detached from the knowledge
of how food is grown, processed and presented to them. Under these
circumstances, it is essential that scientists, policymakers,
legislators and industry members work together from a common and
consistent knowledge base to provide consumers with healthy,
nutritious and sustainable food.This book presents expert opinions
of thought on the challenges and opportunities people face in key
areas and how current knowledge can help to define our future. It
is comprised of twelve chapters and deals with the whole food
system, from primary production to the consumer purchase. It will
be of value to stakeholders including scientists, policymakers,
industry members and consumers.
