Understanding Food Systems: Agriculture, Food Science, and
Nutrition in the United States explores the complex and evolving
system from which the United States gets its food. From farm, to
home, and everything in-between, the authors use a scientific
perspective that explains the fundamentals of agricultural
production, food science, and human nutrition that will guide
readers through the issues that shape our food system, including
political, societal, environmental, economic, and ethical concerns.
Presenting the role and impact of technology, from production to
processing and safety, to cultural and consumer behavior
perspectives, the book also explores the link between food systems
and the history of nutrients and diet patterns, and how these
influence disease occurrence. Current topics of concern and debate,
including the correlations between food systems and diet-related
diseases, such as obesity and diabetes are explored, as are the
history and current status of food insecurity and accessibility.
Throughout the text, readers are exposed to current topics that
play important roles in personal food choices and how they
influence components of the food system.
