Worlds of food. |
| Резюме: |
Drawing on theories of multi-level governance, three leading scholars in the field explore the geo-politics of the food chain in different spatial arenas: the World Trade Organization, where free trade principles clash with fair trade concerns in the debate about agricultural reform; the European Union, where producers are under pressure from environmentalists for a more traceable and sustainable food system; and the US, where there is a striking contradiction between the rhetoric of free markets and the reality of a heavily subsidized farming sector. To understand the local impact of these global trends, the authors explore three different regional worlds of food: the traditional world of localized quality in Tuscany, the peripheral world of commodity production in Wales, and the frontier world of agri-business in California. --From publisher's description. |
