Food and agricultural standards have recently risen to the top of
both national and international agendas. Popular concerns about the
power of the World Trade Organization focus on the intertwined
relationships between environmental protection, labor and human
rights, and the standards used to produce and supply our food and
fiber globally. In the developing world, agricultural grades and
standards are an important part of the reconfiguration of roles and
responsibilities between various public and private actors in
market reform. This original and informative collection of studies
of agri-food standards in the modern economy addresses these and
helps to define the scope of the emerging study of the politics of
standards setting. Following an overview essay dealing with the
multiple ways of thinking about, approaching and defining food and
agricultural standards, eleven case studies offer a rich body of
evidence that assesses the processes, dynamics and potential
consequences of global agri-food standards. For all interested in
the strategic use of food and agricultural standards - from those
in national and international governmental agencies, researchers
and others in the academic and private sector to those in the
private business sector - this volume offers a broader perspective
on and will serve as an important resource.
