Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Aujourd'hui la question des risques alimentaires est surtout abordée sous l'angle de leur évaluation. Le problème d'une approche centrée uniquement sur l'expertise est qu'elle occulte l'expérience concrète des personnes concernées. Sur le temps long, la question essentielle à propos de la nourriture a été celle des quantités disponibles. Avec la modernisation de l'agriculture et l'essor de l'agroalimentaire, l'offre alimentaire est devenue variée, abondante et à portée de presque tous. Dans ce contexte, les peurs se décalent vers de nouveaux objets la question la plus importante porte sur la qualité et sur les risques de nocivité que présente notre alimentation. Ce premier retournement s'accompagne d'un regard différent porté sur la nature. Pendant longtemps celle-ci fut la source des dangers, lorsque l'orage détruisait les récoltes. Elle apparaît maintenant comme le havre d'un temps presque disparu où les vaches ne consommaient pas des farines empoisonnées et où les grains de maïs n'étaient pas génétiquement modifiés. Cet ouvrage analyse la façon dont ces retournements de représentations se traduisent dans les pratiques à partir de données recueillies auprès d'industriels de l'agroalimentaire, de médecins, d'agriculteurs, de maraîchers du dimanche ou de militants impliqués dans la vie d'une AMAP (association pour le maintien d'une agriculture paysanne). L'auteur décrit la transformation de nos peurs, l'évolution des représentations des relations entre la santé, la maladie et l'alimentation et nos usages de la nourriture au service d'une idéologie de beauté, de jeunesse, et d'un idéal de santé parfaite. Un livre essentiel pour comprendre notre alimentation et les mutations sociales."--Page 4 of cover.
Book Synopsis Histoire des peurs alimentaires by : Madeleine Ferrières
Download or read book Histoire des peurs alimentaires written by Madeleine Ferrières and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au-delà de la peur de manquer, il y a la crainte de manger du corrompu et du malsain. En même temps qu'il a cherché à réduire la pénurie, l'Occident a ainsi progressivement mis sous surveillance l'ensemble de la chaîne alimentaire. Notre comportement alimentaire a une longue histoire que Madeleine Ferrières s'attache ici à reconstituer. Des règlements médiévaux de boucherie à l'abattage systématique des animaux au temps de Louis XIV, de la peur des poisons à la suspicion à l'endroit des nourritures nouvelles, comme la pomme de terre, l'Occident invente un ordre alimentaire illustré de manière éloquente, au début du XXe siècle, par le Pure Food and Drug Act américain. Mais cette invention n'est pas allée sans une autre : celle du consommateur. Rassasié, prudent, voire savant ou se croyant tel, il appartient à l'utopie de l'abondance et de la sécurité. L'histoire des peurs alimentaires n'est ainsi rien d'autre que l'histoire de l'Occidental way of life.

Book Synopsis Les Comportements Du Consommateur Face Aux Produits Alimentaires by : Paul-Emmanuel Pichon
Download or read book Les Comportements Du Consommateur Face Aux Produits Alimentaires written by Paul-Emmanuel Pichon and published by Editions Universitaires Européennes. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis une vingtaine d'années, les crises alimentaires sont récurrentes et la liste des alertes et menaces ne cesse de s'allonger. Ces récentes crises et la montée en puissance des peurs alimentaires ont provoqué une profonde remise en cause de la relation de confiance entre consommateurs et les différents acteurs directs de la filière alimentaire (éleveurs, producteurs, industriels, distributeurs) mais aussi indirects (Pouvoirs Publics, associations de consommateurs, médias). Le risque physique étant prédominant en consommation alimentaire, cette réflexion s'intéresse particulièrement à l'étude du risque physique à court et à long terme. Cet ouvrage contribue à une meilleure compréhension des spécificités du comportement du consommateur - mangeur dans sa perception et ses stratégies de réduction du risque en phase d'achat, en repérant notamment l'influence de certains facteurs individuels (anxiété, sensibilité aux crises alimentaires, confiance en soi) dans la perception du risque alimentaire à court et/ou à long terme. Elle montre aussi l'utilité des réducteurs de risque alimentaire émis par les acteurs de la filière, ainsi que le rôle de la confiance.
Book Synopsis Risk and Food Safety in China and Japan by : Louis Augustin-Jean
Download or read book Risk and Food Safety in China and Japan written by Louis Augustin-Jean and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the world, food has probably never been as safe as it is today. However, periodic crises have aroused consumer anxiety and contributed to a general lack of confidence in the agro-industrial system. The diverse nature of these crises increases governments’ and industry difficulties in predicting and tackling them. This book addresses the relations between risk and food theoretically and empirically through case studies from Japan and China. Part I of the book examines the interaction between theoretical aspects and decision-making. The book theorizes the links between food and risk and analyses the decision-making process in light of risks and governance. The relationship between food risks, governance systems and economic decisions is assessed to explore ideas such as the "pact of nutrition" and the theory of weak signals. Part II examines case studies from China and Japan in the aftermaths of recent crises such as the milk powder scandal in China and food safety following the Fukushima nuclear accident and tsunami in Japan. This book will be an important resource for scholars, academics and policy-makers in the fields of sociology, economics, food studies, Chinese studies and Japanese studies and theories of risks and safety.
Book Synopsis The Sociology of Food by : Jean-Pierre Poulain
Download or read book The Sociology of Food written by Jean-Pierre Poulain and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic text about the social study of food, this is the first English language edition of Jean-Pierre Poulain's seminal work. Tracing the history of food scholarship, The Sociology of Food provides an overview of sociological theory and its relevance to the field of food. Divided into two parts, Poulain begins by exploring the continuities and changes in the modern diet. From the effect of globalization on food production and supply, to evolving cultural responses to food – including cooking and eating practices, the management of consumer anxieties, and concerns over obesity and the medicalization of food – the first part examines how changing food practices have shaped and are shaped by wider social trends. The second part provides an overview of the emergence of food as an academic focus for sociologists and anthropologists. Revealing the obstacles that lay in the way of this new field of study, Poulain shows how the discipline was first established and explains its development over the last forty years. Destined to become a key text for students and scholars, The Sociology of Food makes a major contribution to food studies and sociology. This edition features a brand new chapter focusing on the development of food studies in the English-speaking world and a preface, specifically written for the edition.
Book Synopsis Governing Risk in GM Agriculture by : Michael Baram
Download or read book Governing Risk in GM Agriculture written by Michael Baram and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the issues and methods involved in governing risks posed by genetically modified (GM) agriculture. It examines the evolution of policies intended to ensure the safety of GM crops and food products in the United States and Europe and the regulatory approaches and other social controls employed to protect human health, the environment, conventional farming and foods, and the interests and rights of consumers. Discussion encompasses the cultural, political and economic forces that shape the design and application of the methods of risk governance, as well as other contextual features such as the influence of multinational companies seeking acceptance of their GM ventures. This discussion also examines the influence of the dynamic public discourse fostered by progressive concepts of risk governance and the approaches taken to meet its demands for transparency, public participation and appropriate consideration of public perceptions and values despite conflicting views of experts.

Book Synopsis Nitrate and Man by : Jean L'hirondel
Download or read book Nitrate and Man written by Jean L'hirondel and published by CABI. This book was released on 2002 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nitrate is ubiquitous. It is present in water, soil, plants and food, and is also a normal human metabolite. The main external sources of nitrate are vegetables and drinking water. This book examines the relationship between nitrates and human health.During the last 50 years or so, nitrate has been feared as the source of the rare condition called methaemoglobinaemia, or 'blue baby syndrome', for young infants. Nitrate has also been implicated with causing cancer, through increased formation of carcinogenic compounds. Both claims are based on dubious evidence. This book sets out research results to disprove these assumptions, and goes on to explore the beneficial effects of nitrate in preventing infections, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It is essential reading for researchers in medicine, and those in agriculture and food industries.
Book Synopsis Food Safety and the WTO:The Interplay of Culture, Science and Technology by : Marsha Echols
Download or read book Food Safety and the WTO:The Interplay of Culture, Science and Technology written by Marsha Echols and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2001-11-16 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's international trade regime explicitly rejects cultural perceptions of what is safe to eat, overturning millennia of tradition. The World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) enshrines "science" as the arbiter in resolving disputes involving this vital human need. This mandate, however, is under attack from many quarters. Critics cite environmental and ethical concerns, unpredictably changing technology, taste, food preferences, local culture, adequacy of governmental implementation of WTO standards, and the reliability of scientific opinion. A basic conflict has crystallized: food as culture versus food as commerce. The WTO/SPS approach is increasingly challenged for its balance in favor of economic considerations, and for its visible undermining of unique cultural identities. This important book explores the relationship between the SPS Agreement, food traditions, science, and technology. It deliberately confronts those trade experts who refuse to allow other social sciences to influence their economics-based trade theory. The author ably investigates the local perception of food and food safety from the anthropological and historical points of view, the evolution of food production technologies, and the medicinal, proscriptive (taboo) and security aspects of food that continue to prevail in nearly all cultures today. She succeeds in demonstrating that, no matter how strong the faith in science and economics, it is unwise to flagrantly dismiss the deeply rooted beliefs of billions of people, a huge majority of the world's population. The Beef Hormones case; the remaining sovereignty related to food safety measures; the increasing significance of "appropriate levels of protection" and "the precautionary principle"; the redefinition of "food hazard" to include production processes as well as food itself; genetically modified seeds and food products; the concept of "risk" in the science-based context of the Codex Alimentarius - these are among the issues and topics covered in depth. The author concludes that, although quick "legal" resolutions of trade disputes about what people should or should not eat might provide a "win" for open trade, support for the entire structure and rationale of the WTO is undermined unless (at the least) some flexibility of interpretation is introduced into the WTO Dispute Resolution System in order to recognize the weight and validity of public opinion. Food safety is arguably the most important issue affecting international commerce today, urgently demanding enlightened discussion and action based on global consensus. This well-researched and thoughtful contribution offers significant clarification and perspective to policymakers, lawyers, academics and others engaged in this critical human drama in progress on the world stage.

Book Synopsis Scared to Death by : Christopher Booker
Download or read book Scared to Death written by Christopher Booker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly revised and updated in the light of COVID-19 For most of the latter part of the last century, and the early part of this, Britain has been assailed by a succession of 'scares', from salmonella and eggs to BSE, from the Millennium Bug to bird flu, from DDT to passive smoking, from asbestos to global warming. These scares have become one of the most conspicuous and damaging features of our modern world, so much so that as we entered the third decade of the new century, our senses had become so blunted that we scarcely recognised the real thing for what it was, until it arrived – COVID-19, for which we were almost completely unprepared. The authors analyse the crucial roles of the different factions who perpetrated the scares: from the scientists who misread or manipulated the evidence to the media and lobbyists who eagerly promoted scares without regard to the consequences, and the politicians and officials who came up with absurdly disproportionate responses, leaving us to pay a colossal price. In this updated edition, Scared to Death not only presents a detailed account of the scares that have dominated our society for the past 50 years – through all of which the authors lived – but also examines the background to the COVID-19 pandemic, tracing our lack of preparedness to its roots and then assessing, by way of contrast, why this is the real thing, as opposed to the succession of scares that we have experienced.
Book Synopsis The Crisis of Food Brands by : Martin K. Hingley
Download or read book The Crisis of Food Brands written by Martin K. Hingley and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food and agribusiness is one of the fastest changing global markets; change that is driven by technology, developments in manufacturing and supply, and a growing consumer engagement. The success of the agri-food industry and many of our household brand names will depend on how much you understand about these changes and the extent to which you can deliver secure and competitive products in the face of growing expectations about food safety and quality, as well as changing attitudes about the environment, human diet and nutrition, and animal welfare. The Crisis of Food Brands offers perspectives on many key aspects of these changes including the role of business, policy-makers, and the media in communicating with and engaging stakeholders about: o relevant and dynamic models of risk and crisis management; o the value of innovative and, sometimes controversial, food systems; o their buying behaviour and attitudes to movements such as organic and fair trade; o how and where we source and buy our food now (and in the future). The quality of the original research that underpins this book and the imagination and practicality with which the authors address its applications for the industry is first rate. Anyone with responsibility for marketing food, communicating about the food industry, or engaging with consumers will find this an important source of ideas and inspiration.
