Food is the ultimate commodity in our market-led economic system,
and it has a great impact on global development and
interdependence.
From cultivation to consumption, food provides the chief link
between humankind and the "natural" environment. Yet, technological
advances in genetics, agri-business, and food processing have
combined with changing patterns of diet and employment to challenge
our perception of the "natural" and our position within a "natural"
system. At this point of dislocation, global crisis and conscience
over our use of the environment have sharpened the ideological
force of "Nature."
"Refashioning Nature" analyzes the apparently opposed imperatives
of the industrial food system and environment. The authors argue
that present means of food production, processing and consumption
do not satisfy the demands of both North and South, resulting in
food shortages and surpluses, as well as environmental destruction.
One of the major developments within the global food system has
been the change in diet associated with the movement of women into
the labor market. Beyond the implications for the production of
food and the position of the household, this transformation has had
a profound effect on the way we manage the environment, and what we
assume and perceive to be natural.
