Good food. The philosophy of food and agriculture is a textbook by Michiel Korthals that delves deeply into the ethical and societal aspects of food and agriculture. It addresses the challenge of bridging the gap between food production and consumption and explores themes such as exploitation, overweight, malnutrition, hunger, and environmental impact.
Korthals presents a model in which direct connections between food and everyday life are central. The book emphasizes the preference for regional food chains over the world market, encourages food skills, and advocates for a fair distribution of attention among different dietary styles. This textbook is intended for anyone who wants to understand the role of consumers, governments, and market players in making food more tasty and ethically responsible.
