THE FOOD CHAIN — FORGING THE LINKS

Abstract

In developing countries, food production, processing, preparation, cooking and consumption may all be carried out by the same people. They are therefore familiar with the process as a whole and would not ignore the implications of change in one part of the whole chain for other parts. In developed countries, however, a high proportion of our food is now processed by a seemingly separate food industry. The proportion may amount to 70 or even 80%, depending on whether you count butchering as a kind of processing, for example.
