  • Title: The impact of globalisation, free trade and technology on food and nutrition in the new millennium.
    Author: McMichael P.
    Journal: Proc Nutr Soc; 2001 May; 60(2):215-20. PubMed ID: 11681637.
    Abstract:
    The millennium promises a dramatic politicisation of the food question. In addition to the prominent issues of food security, hunger and nutrition, bioengineering, food safety and quality, there are related issues of environmental sustainability, power, sovereignty and rights. All these issues are deeply implicated in the current corporate form of globalisation, which is transforming historic global arrangements by subordinating public institutions and the question of food security to private solutions. The present paper questions the self-evident association between globalisation and nutritional improvement.
