At the same time, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;contrasting extremes of both undernourishment and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;overnourishment affect a significant proportion of humanity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;There is also growing awareness of the serious ecological &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;consequences that stem from industrial models of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;agriculture that are increasingly spreading worldwide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;display: block;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;The revised and updated second edition of this popular book &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;aims to contribute to a fuller understanding of the forces &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;that influence and shape the current global food system. In &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;it, Jennifer Clapp explores how the rise of industrial &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;agriculture, corporate control, inequitable agricultural trade &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;rules, and the financialization of food have each enabled &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;powerful actors to gain fundamental influence on the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;desc_span&quot; style=&quot;display: inline; opacity: 1; border: 0px solid red;&quot;&gt;practices that dominate the world food economy.
