Description

Grains are at the heart of many people's diets, but their role in national and international policy-making is often overlooked. In this timely book, Bill Winders explores the complex story of grains in the global economy, revealing how corporate control and divisions between different types of grains can lead to competing economic interests and policy preferences with serious consequences. The dominance of grains in the global economy is driven by a range of factors, including politics, economics, and technology. Winders examines the ways in which grains are produced, traded, and consumed, highlighting the importance of understanding these processes in order to appreciate the broader implications for food security, biotechnology, and climate change. This authoritative guide will be of interest to students of social sciences and anyone interested in current affairs, offering a richly detailed analysis of the complex issues surrounding grains.
