Reviews
“The book Food Production and Eating Habits From Around the World: A Multidisciplinary Approach, edited by Francisco Entrena-Duran, is a very important contribution to our knowledge about the changes brought about by globalization on the multiple dimensions involved on the significant topic of human food production and consumption.” – Manuel Belo Moreira, former coordinator of the Department of Science and Engineering of Bio-Systems at the ISA-University of Lisbon
“This is a consistent book that brings substantial new insights with regard to the literature produced in recent years. Particularly, from my expertise, I would emphasize that most of its contributions reveal a significant concern on the relationships between food and health.” – Josep M. Comelles, M.D;Ph.D; Director of the Medical Anthropology Research Center, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Campus Catalunya, Tarragona, Spain
“Readers have here a worldwide selection of outstanding contributions to the knowledge of the eating habits and food production practices in the current globalization context. As it is shown in the book, both the said habits and practices are more and more industrialized and subjected to the empire of publicity and the guidelines of agro-food transnational corporations. As a result, at the same time that we are witnessing a rising planetary standardization of eating habits and food production practices, these become ever more deruralized and/or disconnected from the rural-traditional environments where food was usually produced.” – Simon P. Izcara-Palacios, M.D; Ph. D; Professor of Rural Sociology at the University of Tamaulipas, Mexico
Agriculture and Human Values – Tamara Álvarez-Lorente, Department of Sociology, University of Granada, Granada, Spain
Política y Sociedad – Francisco Collado Campana, Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Spain
