Who controls what we eat? This book reveals how dominant
corporations, from the supermarket to the seed industry, exert
control over contemporary food systems. It analyzes the strategies
these firms are using to reshape society in order to further
increase their power, particularly in terms of their bearing upon
the more vulnerable sections of society, such as recent immigrants,
ethnic minorities and those of lower socioeconomic status. Yet this
study also shows that these trends are not inevitable. Opposed by
numerous efforts, from microbreweries to seed saving networks, it
explores how opposition to this has encouraged even the most
powerful firms to make small but positive changes. This revised
edition has been updated to reflect recent developments in the food
system, as well as the broad political economic forces that shape
them. It also examines the rapidly changing technologies, such as
Big Data and automation, which have the potential to reinforce, as
well as to challenge, the power of the largest firms.
