I am happy that the author expounds on these issues and at the same time reveals how food is intricately linked to other topics like geopolitics and economics. As a student who will be embarking on the Food Science and Technology course in university, I was compelled to read this book as I wanted to get a rough picture of the current global food system and know more about its processes and problems. In seven chapters, we get to read about the different topics related to food, some of which include: Health and Nutrition, Environment and Sustainability, Technology, Hunger and Food Security. In Food, written as part of the MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series, journalist and Professor of Food Studies Fabio Parasecoli gives us a well-rounded summary and description of the current global food system.
