Food Politics

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.
