Abstract

In this article the authors consider the biological nature of food and the modern global food system. It is argued that modern food is an industrialized product of global capitalism and that the aim is to make food uniform, safe, and predictable. The article discusses how environmental and social sustainability in the food industry had been ignored in favor of industrialization and commercialization. It is inferred that the environmental aspects and impact of food production is gaining recognition, as well as natural food.
