Transforming Agriculture and Foodways

Mehr zum Buch

The book examines the transformative impact of digital and molecular technologies on food production and consumption in the US, Western Europe, and Australasia. It addresses contemporary issues like Precision Agriculture, gene editing, and alternative proteins, while analyzing the socio-economic consequences of these innovations, including the decline of rural communities and industrial concentration. Despite increasing public demand for sustainable practices in response to climate change, the book highlights a lack of significant progress towards low-carbon food systems.
