PDF-[DOWNLOAD]-Concentration and Power in the Food System: Who Controls What We Eat?, Revised

Who controls what we eat This book reveals how dominant corporations from the supermarket to the seed industry exert control over contemporary food systems It analyzes the strategies these firms are using to reshape society in order to further increase their power particularly in terms of their bearing upon the more vulnerable sections of society such as recent immigrants ethnic minorities and those of lower socioeconomic status Yet this study also shows that these trends are not inevitable Opposed by numerous efforts from microbreweries to seed saving networks it explores how opposition to this has encouraged even the most powerful firms to make small but positive changesThis revised edition has been updated to reflect recent developments in the food system as well as the broad political economic forces that shape them It also examines the rapidly changing technologies such as Big Data and automation which have the potential to reinforce as well as to challenge the power of the largest firms.

In 2013, a Dutch scientist unveiled the world’s first laboratory-created hamburger. Since then, the idea of producing meat, not from live animals but from carefully cultured tissues, has spread like wildfire through the media. Meanwhile, cultured meat researchers race against population growth and climate change in an effort to make sustainable protein. Meat Planet explores the quest to generate meat in the lab—a substance sometimes called “cultured meat”—and asks what it means to imagine that this is the future of food.Neither an advocate nor a critic of cultured meat, Benjamin Aldes Wurgaft spent five years researching the phenomenon. In Meat Planet, he reveals how debates about lab-grown meat reach beyond debates about food, examining the links between appetite, growth, and capitalism. Could satiating the growing appetite for meat actually lead to our undoing? Are we simply using one technology to undo the damage caused by another? Like all problems in our food system, the meat problem is not merely a problem of production. It is intrinsically social and political, and it demands that we examine questions of justice and desirable modes of living in a shared and finite world. Benjamin Wurgaft tells a story that could utterly transform the way we think of animals, the way we relate to farmland, the way we use water, and the way we think about population and our fragile ecosystem’s capacity to sustain life. He argues that even if cultured meat does not “succeed,” it functions—much like science fiction—as a crucial mirror that we can hold up to our contemporary fleshy dysfunctions.  Jason Young.
