Drawing on theories of multi-level governance, three leading scholars in the field explore the geo-politics of the food chain in different spatial arenas : the world trade organization, where free trade principles class with fair trade concerns in the debate about agricultural reform; the European Union, where producers are under pressure from environmentalists for more traceable and sustainable food system, and the US, where there is a striking contradiction between the rhetoric of free markets and the reality of a heavily subsidised framing sector. To understand the local impact of these global trends, the authors explore three different regional worlds of food : the traditional world of localised quality in tuscany the peripheral world of commodity production in Wales, and the frontier world of agri-business in California.
