Beschreibung
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 food Explores the interaction among individuals, civil society and institutions to understand various social dynamics and possible developments Takes into account cultural, traditional and historical differences to consider a varying human experience of food and consumption

“In today plethora of books and papers about “food”, Prof. Corvo’s book represents a welcome and refreshing exception. Corvo’s book not only encompasses the traditional methods to study food’s implications in its many different anthropological, social, consumeristic and pleasure aspects, but shows the links between them in a creative and original manner ... . “Food Culture, Consumption and Society” is a fascinating reading not only because of the amount of information provided, but also due to Prof. Corvo writing style – at times provocative and passionate – but always clear and to the point.” (Paolo Benassi, Hollywood, US)
