The book explores, through a reflection on food, the complexity of
the concept of well-being. It starts from the consideration that
food is a fundamental element for human well-being, and for
well-being of the planet as a whole. Not only does food guarantee
the survival of human beings, it is also a cultural expression.
With regard to the Italian socio-cultural context, the contributors
explore how food relates to aspects such as history, tradition, new
food styles, health, and the old and new technologies used to
produce food. The studies in the book do not simply analyse
indicators to illustrate the Italian situation in the "here and
now". As part of the tradition of studies on social indicators,
they provide valid and well-founded indications to contribute to an
improvement in the quality of life for years to come. This work on
the theme of food represents a very useful contribution to the
general reflection on well-being and its statistical, sociological,
and multidisciplinary study, due to the importance historically
given to food in Italy and the socio-cultural implications of food
in various life contexts.
