As we have  become wealthier and more discerning, our food has Europeanized (pizza  is children's favourite food) and internationalized (we eat the world's  cuisines), yet our food culture remains fragmented, a mix of mass  'ultra-processed' substances alongside food as varied and good as  anywhere else on the planet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book takes stock of the UK food  system: where it comes from, what we eat, its impact, fragilities and  strengths. It is a book on the politics of food. It argues that the  Brexit vote will force us to review our food system. Such an opportunity  is sorely needed. After a brief frenzy of concern following the  financial shock of 2008, the UK government has slumped once more into a  vague hope that the food system will keep going on as before. Food, they  said, just required a burst of agri-technology and more exports to pay  for our massive imports.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeeding Britain\u003c\/i\u003e  argues that this and other approaches are short-sighted, against the  public interest, and possibly even strategic folly. Setting a new course  for UK food is no easy task but it is a process, this book urges, that  needs to begin now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Tim Lang has performed a public service' Simon Jenkins, \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lang, Tim","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47008666550611,"sku":"XV80241442227","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"New","offer_id":50373600739667,"sku":"9780241442227","price":35.71,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/lang-tim-tim-lang-feeding-britain-2020-hardback-1129686222.jpg?v=1739311690","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/feeding-britain-our-food-problems-and-how-to-fix-them","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
