This book focuses on food policy, and its relationship to public
health, as an increasingly important issue in today's society.
Contributors highlight the lack of global regulation in the food
supply chain and explore the common tendency to leave regulation to
markets and to individual consumer decisions. In a period where
there is growing concern about the sustainability of contemporary
food systems, this book considers the inadequate response made to
issues of food waste where solutions in high income countries are
dependent on lifestyle and consumer behaviour. It offers an insight
in to the importance of people's everyday lives in relation to
policies on public health, food and sustainability. The text
demonstrates the corrosive impact of social inequality, and the
futility of identifying lower income consumers as flawed when
aiming for food policies that seek to achieve improvements in
public health. Factors such as technological developments,
ecological concerns and international trade are also taken in to
account. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Critical Public Health.
