A New Conceptual Base for Food and Agricultural Policy: The Emerging Model of Links between Agriculture, Food, Health, Environment and Society
Tóm tắt
Everywhere in the world, food and agricultural policy is under scrutiny. Questions are being asked about both past and present public policy and strategy. The motives for reassessment are various, including trade wars, health impact, ecological concerns, population, citizens rights. After decades in which policy was centrally concerned with raising productivity and production, using a fairly simple Input-Output Model, the need for a more complex model for food and farming is becoming clear. The success of the dominant Input-Output Model of farming is that it can claim to have kept up with rising population trends and unleashed astonishing efficiencies. Critics point out, however, that these efficiencies have insufficiently accounted for costs to the environment, health and social well-being. A debate about these considerations grew in intensity during the 1990s, but had earlier roots. As a result, a new model of food and agriculture's contribution to health is emerging.
