Robert Paarlberg Bücher

The third edition of Food Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know(R) has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest developments and research on today's global food landscape, including the realities of food markets, farm production methods, food manufacturing, and dietary health challenges. New material covers a range of global food issues and includes an expanded focus on food policy and politics in the United States. Discussing the politics and policies that continue to shape our contemporary food system, Robert Paarlberg challenges myths and critiques more than a few of today's fashionable beliefs about farming and food.

Robert Paarlberg, one of the most prominent scholars writing on agricultural issues, parses the range of theories behind the food crisis to map out and demystify the range of phenomena that has come to be known as food politics.

This book offers a comprehensive, science-driven analysis of food production, addressing common misconceptions surrounding local and organic options. It delves into various topics, including the practices of food companies, nutrition labeling, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability. By scrutinizing each element of the food system from farm to table, it aims to provide readers with a clearer understanding of the complexities involved in food choices and their broader implications.
