Today's highly industrialized and technologically controlled global
food systems dominate our lives, shaping our access and attitudes
towards food and deeply influencing and defining our identities. At
the same time, these food systems are profoundly and destructively
impacting the health of the environment and threatening all of us,
human and nonhuman, who must subsist in ecological conditions of
increasing fragility and scarcity. This collection examines and
exposes the myriad ways that the food systems, driven by global
commodity capitalism and its imperative of growth at any cost,
increasingly controls us and conforms us to our roles as consumers
and producers. This collection covers a range of topics from the
excess of consumers in the post-industrial world and the often
unacknowledged yet intrinsic connection of their consumption to the
growing ecological and health crises in developing nations, to
topics of surveillance and control of human and nonhuman bodies
through food, to the deep linkages of cultural values and norms
toward food to the myriad crises we face on a global scale.
