About this ebook
Food Policy explores the complex interplay of regulation, economics, and politics that shapes the U.S. food system. It examines how food reaches our plates, who decides what's safe and nutritious, and the impact of these decisions on public health and the environment. The book offers a critical look at the food industry, highlighting how consolidation and technological innovation are transforming the food supply chain. For example, understanding food labeling practices is crucial, as they influence consumer choices about nutrition and allergens.
The book progresses logically, first introducing core concepts of food policy and its links to economics, politics, and public health. It then examines the regulatory landscape and the role of food labeling, before turning to the food industry itself. It emphasizes that effective food policy requires government intervention to correct market failures and protect public interests. By integrating economic analysis with political realities and public health concerns, Food Policy provides a holistic view, making it valuable for policymakers, industry professionals, and anyone interested in a more sustainable and equitable food system.
