Transforming Agriculture and Foodways

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 agri-food issues, including Precision Agriculture, gene editing, and alternative proteins, while highlighting the socio-economic consequences of these innovations. The analysis reveals challenges such as the decline of rural communities and industrial concentration, along with a lack of progress towards sustainable low-carbon food systems despite increasing public pressure for change.
