Food is a massive industry and the many key players involved have
very different interests. In wealthy nations those interests can
range from corporate survival and maintaining profitability in a
market with limited demand, to promoting a healthy diet and
ensuring food safety. For the poor, the emphasis is all too often
on simply getting enough to eat. As information technology and
biotechnology are set to revolutionize the food system, it is
essential to understand the broad context in which the different
actors operate, so that all the world's people can enjoy a safe,
secure, sufficient and sustainable food supply. This text provides
an overview of today's dominant food system - one developed in and
controlled by northern industrialized countries, and one that is
becoming increasingly globalized.
