Description
The global food system is facing numerous challenges. In this updated edition of Food Wars, Tim Lang and Michael Heasman explore the competing paradigms shaping food policy and politics. They examine key issues such as nutrition, environmental sustainability, and social justice, highlighting the tensions between different worldviews and their impact on the direction of food systems. The authors bring together a range of perspectives to understand how conflicting tendencies are playing out in practice, including the rise of obesity, hunger, and under-nutrition, as well as climate change, biodiversity loss, and market power. This new edition provides updated examples, case studies, and insights into the pressing issues shaping the future of food. By integrating human and environmental health, Food Wars offers a nuanced analysis of the complex relationships between food, politics, and society.
