Review: This, the latest in the series Broadening Perspectives in Social Policy ranges over many different aspects of Food – from ‘food patenting’, food safety, food security, food aid and regulated food provision via individual choice and collective responsibilities. The reality of the food situation is very different for consumers in rich and poor countries; the authors explain why and examine the role of food in contemporary policy internationally. They explain where the real power lies, and provides some means of redressing the balance between the rich and the poor.
