● Julie Hudson y Paul Donovan, “Food Policy and the Environmental Credit Crunch”. Routledge
(2014) 240 págs.
Description
The
changing economic environment for the consumer that is emerging from the
wreckage of the financial credit crunch plays directly into the importance of
food spending. This is certainly true from the perspective of food prices in
the short run, but also from the perspective of sustainability and reducing the
impact of the environmental credit crunch. The economic changes we experience
now have a bearing on our ability to manage the environmental credit crunch
that looms.
Food Policy and the Environmental Credit
Crunch: From Soup to Nuts elaborates on the issues addressed in the
authors’ first book, From Red to Green?, and asks whether the financial credit
crunch could ameliorate or exacerbate the emergent environmental credit crunch.
The conclusion drawn here is that a significant and positive difference could
be made by changing some of the ways in which we procure, prepare, and consume
our food.
Written by an economist and an
investment professional, this book addresses the economic and environmental
implications of how we treat food. The book examines each aspect of the ‘food
chain’, from agriculture, to production and processing, retail, preparation,
consumption and waste.
