This fascinating volume examines the impact that rapid urbanization
has had upon diets and food systems throughout Western Europe over
the past two centuries. Bringing together studies from across the
continent, it stresses the fundamental links between key changes in
European social history and food systems, food cultures and food
politics. Contributors respond to a number of important questions,
including: when and how did local food production cease to be
sufficient for the city and when did improved transport conditions
and liberal commercial relations replace local by supra-regional
food supplies? How far did the food industry contribute to improved
living conditions in cities? What influence did urban consumers
have? Food and the City in Europe since 1800 also examines issues
of food hygiene and health impacts in cities, looks at various food
innovations and how 'new' foods often first gained acceptance in
cities, and explores how eating fashions have changed over the
centuries.
