Food van Jennifer Clapp is an English-language printed study book aimed at professionals. This book offers an in-depth analysis of global food supply and the dynamics within the world food economy.
Clapp discusses the concentration of control over food production and its consequences for both people and the environment. The analysis focuses on industrial agriculture, corporate dominance, trade rules, and the financial aspects of the food economy. In doing so, the vulnerabilities and inequalities in the global food system become clearly apparent.
The book addresses the complexity of under- and overnutrition and also examines initiatives that pursue alternative, sustainable food supply systems. In this way, it makes a valuable contribution to understanding the global food problem.
In terms of content, this third, fully revised edition builds on topics such as Geography, SCIENCE / Earth Sciences / Geography, and Food supply - Economic aspects.
