Description: Transforming Agriculture and Foodways by David Goodman Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Agri-food systems in the Global North are experiencing a wave of technological innovation in food production and ways of eating. This book is the first to analyse technological and socio-economic change in leading food sectors and it concludes that despite innovation, the food industry is adapting too slowly to the challenges of climate change. Publisher Description A wave of innovation driven by the convergence of digital and molecular technologies is transforming food production and ways of eating in the US, Western Europe and Australasia. This book explores a range of contemporary agri-food issues, such as the digitalisation of farm production, aka precision agriculture, farmer independence, gene editing, alternative proteins and the rise of app-based home food deliveries.This is the first book to provide a systemic analysis of technological innovation and its socio-economic consequences in modern food systems, including the hollowing out of rural communities and pronounced industrial concentration. The food system is under growing public pressure to respond to global climate change, but this book finds little evidence of transition to sustainable low-carbon trajectories. Author Biography David Goodman is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz. He is co-editor of the Food and Society book series.
