Description
Food Chains explores the history and development of the modern food-provisioning system, revealing its underlying institutions and arrangements. This collection of case studies examines various aspects of the system, from the industries that supply meat, poultry, and seafood to the origins of everyday items like shopping carts.
The essays in Food Chains range widely, shedding light on topics such as the history of refrigeration, the rise of commercial pet food, and the evolution of consumer preferences. By examining these and other factors, the authors demonstrate the value of a historical perspective on the modern food system.
