The global shift towards overweight and obese populations has led
to a significant rise in diet-related chronic illness. This book
examines the role global food trade has played in that shift,
looking carefully at how the trade of food across national borders,
international and regional trade agreements, the process of trade
and investment liberalization, and the growth of transnational food
corporations affects what people eat and, by implication, their
health. An international team of editors has brought together a
prestigious group of contributors who present a critical analysis
of the linkages between trade, food and diet in different domains.
Between them, the multidisciplinary group present a balanced
perspective on the opportunities and risks trade poses for dietary
trends and offer a practical analysis of the policy options
available to address this growing global concern.* An international
multidisciplinary team of authors* Detailed look at the issues
followed by practical policy analysis* A comprehensive review of an
important global issue Academics, researchers and practitioners in
the field of public health, especially those concerned with
nutrition, obesity and chronic disease, will find this book an
enlightening and fascinating read. Social scientists, policy
makers, trade analysts and food industry professionals will equally
gain much from this innovative approach to the subject.
