If you had any remaining doubts about the degree to which agriculture has become an international industry, this book will put them to rest. Transnational corporations produce transnational foods for transnational consumers. What CNN has done for world news, ConAgra (and others like it) are doing for food. There is a McDonaldization of production and consumption. . . . Food has become industrialized, commodified, and marketed for worldly and wordwide consumers. This book will tell you why. --<b>William W. Falk</b>, coeditor of <i>Forgotten Places: Uneven Development in Rural America</i> This timely book breaks new ground in arguing that the globalized economy creates new winners and losers. As an examination of the role of agriculture and food in the new international division of labor it is a very significant contribution. --<b>Philip McMichael</b>, author of <i>Settlers and the Agrarian Question: Foundations of Capitalism in Colonial Australia</i>
