and up to now, crucial elements in the development of market
systems. Shortage and surplus gave shape to different forms of
exchange and sale, to the dynamics of supply and demand, and to
expanding interconnections between regions and social groups.
Farmers learned to adapt their production to market conditions and
to the shifting needs and tastes of a growing and demanding public.
But the path from a self-supporting way of life to the present
forms of market integration in the complex, global world was far
from uniform and linear. Food production, market structures and
market mechanisms changed over time and differed between regions
and countries of the North Sea area. This volume aims at exploring
and unravelling the complexity of the agro-food market, from the
field to the table.
