Refashioning Nature: Food, Ecology and Culture


Add your own review!

Overview

We live in a society as dominated by food preference as by sexual preference, as obsessed with eating too much as with eating too little. In this accessible, cross-disciplinary text, David Goodman and Michael Redclift look at the development of the modern food system, integrating different bodies of knowledge and debate concerning food, agriculture, the environment and the household. They link changes in our diet and concern with the environment to many of the problems afflicting developing countries: food shortages, poor nutrition and wholesale environmental destruction.

Reviews

`David Goodman and Michael Redclift avoid simple cause-and-effect arguments in recounting this unsavoury tale of transformations in nature ... This is an ... impressive and depressing contribution to the political economy of food.' - New Statesman and Society `Refashioning Nature ought to be eagerly read in a culture that is obsessed with food.' - Social History
