Food Politics
Author: Robert Paarlberg
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199322406
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
The politics of food is changing fast. In rich countries, obesity is now a more serious problem than hunger. Consumers once satisfied with cheap and convenient food now want food that is also safe, nutritious, fresh, and grown by local farmers using fewer chemicals. Heavily subsidized and underregulated commercial farmers are facing stronger push back from environmentalists and consumer activists, and food companies are under the microscope. Meanwhile, agricultural success in Asia has spurred income growth and dietary enrichment, but agricultural failure in Africa has left one-third of all citizens undernourished - and the international markets that link these diverse regions together are subject to sudden disruption. The second edition of Food Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know® has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest developments and research on today's global food landscape, including biofuels, the international food market, food aid, obesity, food retailing, urban agriculture, and food safety. The second edition also features an expanded discussion of the links between water, climate change, and food, as well as farming and the environment. New chapters look at livestock, meat and fish and the future of food politics. Paarlberg's book challenges myths and critiques more than a few of today's fashionable beliefs about farming and food. For those ready to have their thinking about food politics informed and also challenged, this is the book to read. What Everyone Needs to Know® is a registered trademark of Oxford University Press.

The Politics of Food Supply
Author: Bill Winders
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300156235
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
This book deals with an important and timely issue: the political and economic forces that have shaped agricultural policies in the United States during the past eighty years. It explores the complex interactions of class, market, and state as they have affected the formulation and application of agricultural policy decisions since the New Deal, showing how divisions and coalitions within Southern, Corn Belt, and Wheat Belt agriculture were central to the ebb and flow of price supports and production controls. In addition, the book highlights the roles played by the world economy, the civil rights movement, and existing national policy to provide an invaluable analysis of past and recent trends in supply management policy.

The Politics of Food
Author: William David Hopper
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture and politics
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
ABSTRACT: World food security is a political issue. Agricultural development in developing nations creates conflict between politically organized urban populations andtraditionally exploited rural populations. The development of rural economics to attain food self-reliance will give rise to more rural political organization, demand for greater returns on labor, and higher food prices. In advanced countries, commercial farmers are a well-organized political force. Their demands exceed their importance in the contribution to the national product. The main politicalissue is the resulting problem of food oversupply and the disposal of surplus food. International economic cooperationbetween wealthy and poor nations calls for an increased flow of resources and the restructuring of major world economic bodies. Although a global food reserve will be created, long-term food security in poor countries rests on the development of domestic agricultural potential and population control policy.
