The provision of food is undergoing radical transformations
throughout the global community. Peter Oosterveer argues that, as a
consequence, conventional national governmental regulations can no
longer adequately respond to existing and emerging food risks and
to environmental concerns. This book examines these challenges.
Translating recent innovative thinking in the social sciences - as
seen in the work of Manuel Castells and John Urry amongst others -
to the world of food, this book reviews the challenges facing
global food governance and the innovative regulatory arrangements
that are being introduced by different governments, NGOs and
private companies. The analysis includes case-studies on the
European BSE crisis, GM-food regulation, salmon and shrimp farming
and food labelling. The author highlights how contemporary
governance arrangements also have to acknowledge increasing
consumer demand for food produced with care for the environment,
animal welfare and social justice. Developing and implementing
adequate global food governance arrangements therefore demands the
active involvement of private firms, consumers, and civil society
organisations with national governments. Peter Oosterveer's book
will appeal to scholars - postgraduate and above - involved in
industrial organization, agricultural studies and environmental
sciences as well as those with an interest in the globalisation and
governance of this important and topical area.
