This book analyses how consumer food choices have undergone profound changes in the context of the economic crisis, including the rediscovery of local products and the diffusion of multi-ethnic food. Corvo argues that a new ecological relationship between food and the environment is needed to reduce food problems such as food waste and obesity.
Combines anthropology, psychology, economics, philosophy, history and sociology to present an holistic approach to analysing foodExplores the interaction among individuals, civil society and institutions to understand various social dynamics and possible developmentsTakes into account cultural, traditional and historical differences to consider a varying human experience of food and consumption
