Major questions surround who, how, and by what means should the
interests of government, the private sector, or consumers hold
authority and powers over decisions concerning the production and
consumption of foods. This book examines the development of food
policy and regulation following the BSE (mad cow disease) crisis of
the late 1990s, and traces the changing relationships between three
key sets of actors: private interests, such as the corporate
retailers; public regulators, such as the EU directorates and UK
agencies; and consumer groups at EU and national levels. The
authors explore how these interests deal with the conundrum of
continuing to stimulate a corporately organised and increasingly
globalised food system at the same time as creating a public and
consumer-based legitimate framework for it. The analysis develops a
new model and synthesis of food policy and regulation which
reassesses these public/private sector responsibilities with new
evidence and theoretical insights.
