| Description: |
Focuses on the social dimensions of food production, distribution and retailing, reinforcing the idea that British retailing can only maintain its position through political and social activities in state and market structures. The book then goes on to look at broader consumer issues. |
| Synopsis: |
Combining theory, research and policy Consuming Interests provides a topical interdisciplinary exploration into the nature of food provision, policy and regulation. The book provides a detailed examination of corporate retailers, state agencies and consumer organisations involved in the food sector. The analysis explores questions including: * what can the public expect from the state * what limits are there on state action * what are the most appropriate balances between public and private interests in the provision of 'quality' foods. |
