The Agri-Food System in Question by John Wilkinson

To mitigate climate, biodiversity, and public health crises, the global agrifood system needs radical change. The Global North remains central to agrifood innovation but new players in the South, especially Brazil and China, will increasingly determine its pace and direction. Investigating climate-controlled agriculture and alternatives to animal proteins, John Wilkinson shows that trade, investment, and innovation in agrifood is reorienting to the South. As the global population becomes increasingly urban, he skilfully illustrates the connections between social movements and technological innovation – and the need for consumer acceptance of new food habits.

"This is an essential book for both scholars and practitioners looking to understand the dynamic changes currently taking place in global agri-food and their effects on climate change" Ruth Rama, National Research Council of Spain (CSIC)
