The issues surrounding the provision, preparation and development
of food products is fundamental to every human being on the planet.
Given the scarcity of agricultural land, environmental pollution,
climate change and the exponential growth of the world's population
where starvation and obesity are both widespread it is little
wonder that exploring the frontiers of food is now a major focus
for researchers and practitioners. This timely Handbook provides a
systematic guide to the current state of knowledge on sustainable
food. It begins by analyzing the historical development surrounding
food production and consumption, then moves on to discuss the
current food crisis and challenges as well as the impacts linked to
modern agriculture and food security. Finally, it concludes with a
section that examines emerging sustainable food trends and
movements in addition to an analysis of current food science
innovations. Developed from specifically commissioned original
contributions the Handbook's inherent multidisciplinary approach
paves the way for deeper understanding of all aspects linked to the
evolution of food in society, including insights into local food,
food and tourism, organic food, indigenous and traditional food,
sustainable restaurant practices, consumption patterns and
sourcing. This book is essential reading for students, researches
and academics interested in the possibilities of sustainable forms
of gastronomy and gastronomy's contribution to sustainable
development. The title includes a foreword written by Roberto
Flore, Head Chef at the Nordic Food Lab, Copenhagen, Denmark.
