Who can deny the significance of food? It has a central role in our
health and pleasure as well as in our economy, politics and
culture. Food in Society provides a social science perspective on
food systems and demonstrates the rich variety of disciplinary and
theoretical contexts of food studies. While hunger and malnutrition
remain a reality in many countries, for some food has become an
experience rather than a sustenance. This book addresses the
different worldwide understandings of food through thematic
chapters and a wide range of material including: description of the
political economy of the food chain, from production to the point
of sale; analysis of global issues of supply and demand; critical
debate of environmental and health aspects of food, including GM
food, the role of habits, taboos, age and gender in food
consumption. Each chapter contains a guide to further reading and
to websites of relevance to food. Extensively illustrated, this
book is essential reading for students of food studies in the
social sciences and humanities.
