Around the world, food has probably never been as safe as it is
today. However, periodic crises have aroused consumer anxiety and
contributed to a general lack of confidence in the agro-industrial
system. The diverse nature of these crises increases governments'
and industry difficulties in predicting and tackling them. This
book addresses the relations between risk and food theoretically
and empirically through case studies from Japan and China. Part I
of the book examines the interaction between theoretical aspects
and decision-making. The book theorizes the links between food and
risk and analyses the decision-making process in light of risks and
governance. The relationship between food risks, governance systems
and economic decisions is assessed to explore ideas such as the
"pact of nutrition" and the theory of weak signals. Part II
examines case studies from China and Japan in the aftermaths of
recent crises such as the milk powder scandal in China and food
safety following the Fukushima nuclear accident and tsunami in
Japan. This book will be an important resource for scholars,
academics and policy-makers in the fields of sociology, economics,
food studies, Chinese studies and Japanese studies and theories of
risks and safety.
