Food Citizenship - Food System Advocates in an Era of Distrust

Zusatztext [Goldberg] crafts a comprehensive macro view of agribusiness without giving short shrift to the reality on a micro level, and the resulting book is a solid balance of facts and analysis. The sheer breadth of the research is stunning, with interviews sourced directly from CEOs of some well-known (and some less-known) international conglomerates, government officials, and industry advisors... Thought provoking, timely, and scholarly, this is an Insightful and nontraditional examination of the global food system. Informationen zum Autor Ray A. Goldberg is the George M. Moffett Professor of Agriculture and Business, Emeritus at Harvard University. He is the pioneer of the field of agribusiness, and for 60 years he has studied the people and firms who are making a difference around the food system.
