With the ever rising demand for meat around the world, the
production of meat has changed dramatically in the past few
decades. What has brought about the increasing popularity and
attendant normalization of factory farms across many parts of the
world? What are some of the ways to resist such broad convergences
in meat production and how successful are they? This book locates
the answers to these questions at the intersection between the
culture, science and political economy of meat production and
consumption. It details how and why techniques of production have
spread across the world, albeit in a spatially uneven way. It
argues that the modern meat production and consumption sphere is
the outcome of a complex matrix of cultural politics, economics and
technological faith. Drawing from examples across the world
(including America, Europe and Asia), the tensions and
repercussions of meat production and consumption are also analyzed.
From a geographical perspective, food animals have been given
considerably less attention compared to wild animals or pets. This
book, framed conceptually by critical animal studies,
governmentality and commodification, is a theoretically driven and
empirically rich study that advances the study of food animals in
geography as well as in the wider social sciences.
