A global transformation in food supply and consumption is placing our food security at risk. What changes need to be made to the ways we trade, process and purchase our food if everyone in the world is going to have enough wholesome food to eat? Is there genuine scope for creating food futures that embrace considerations such as ecological sustainability and social equity as well as placing good food on the table - and making money? Drawing upon examples of innovative food chains in Europe, Canada, Africa and Latin America, leading academics and practitioners challenge the idea that individuals are powerless in the face of global supply chains and the legal apparatus protecting them. The authors do not, however, underestimate the scale of the task at hand. They explore the tensions and dilemmas inherent in innovative practice - such as the ethics of mainstreaming, balancing a variety of goals and the ways in which success is defined - as well as presenting success stories and explaining how they were achieved. Creating Food Futures provides you with inspiring examples of what is being done and thought-provoking suggestions for future work.

Securing sustainable food for everyone is one of the world's most pressing challenges, but research, policy, and programmes remain fragmented, and effective solutions have been slow to emerge. This book takes on these challenges by proposing a range of solutions that can advance pathways towards sustainable food futures. Complete with recipes, this book is structured so that readers are taken in a logical progression through discussions of solutions, highlighting the need to recognise the importance of place and the importance of participation, and to challenge dominant descriptions of markets, through to re-designing food systems. The solutions presented in this book are based on real-world cases, but discussions remain deliberately broad to encourage thinking in new ways. Cases are drawn from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. The book is of relevance to those interested in sustainable food futures, and can serve as a supplementary textbook for a wide range of courses in food studies and related disciplines.

In response to the challenges of a growing population and food security, there is an urgent need to construct a new agri-food sustainability paradigm. This book brings together an integrated range of key social science insights exploring the contributions and interventions necessary to build this framework. Building on over ten years of ESRC funded theoretical and empirical research centered at BRASS, it focuses upon the key social, economic and political drivers for creating a more sustainable food system. Themes include: regulation and governance sustainable supply chains public procurement sustainable spatial strategies associated with rural restructuring and re-calibrated urbanised food systems minimising bio-security risk and animal welfare burdens. The book critically explores the linkages between social science research and the evolving food security problems facing the world at a critical juncture in the debates associated with not only food quality, but also its provenance, vulnerability and the inherent unsustainability of current systems of production and consumption. Each chapter examines how the links between research, practice and policy can begin to contribute to more sustainable, resilient and justly distributive food systems which would be better equipped to ‘feed the world’ by 2050.

From the Director of the Open Agriculture Initiative at MIT’s Media Lab, the fascinating story of how digital technology is revolutionizing the way we feed the planet, offering surprising solutions to the global food crisis and redefining what it means to be a farmer. By the middle of this century, we will have nine billion people to feed and nobody who wants to be a farmer. From climate change to pollution, from controversies over GMOs to shrinking water supplies, our current system of feeding the planet is breaking down, delivering less nutritious food to fewer people, making both food insecurity and food waste increasingly commonplace. While the problem is clear, the solutions have been more difficult to recognize. Now, thanks to Caleb Harper and his Open Ag initiative, a revolution in agriculture is taking place. Inspired to rethink the fundamentals of farming during a visit to Japan in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Caleb returned to the MIT Media Lab and started growing lettuce in Dixie cups. While his peers were focused on self-driving cars and robots, Caleb was building an entire farm in the basement of the Media Lab. In the perfectly controlled conditions of his farm, he was able to carefully monitor all the variables that affect a plant’s growth and health—water, light, CO2, nutrients, temperature. Using machine learning to analyze the vast amount of data being collecting, he created “climate recipes” for growing the healthiest, tastiest, most sustainable produce in history, anywhere in the world. With the invention of a “personal food computer”/grow-box that he has shared with school children and scientists across the globe, Caleb Harper has laid the foundation for an entirely new model of food production with limitless possibilities. Fascinating, revelatory, and filled with groundbreaking research and ideas, this book shows how the power of one man’s determination and vision are revolutionizing how we will plant, grow, and consume food now and far into the future.

Food safety crisis is never such a big challenge to the stakeholders of the food chain in China, especially to the government authorities of various levels and agribusiness companies. The Future of Food Business is a valuable tool for them as well as the researchers to find practical solutions to address the tough food safety and quality problems in China.” Jiqin Han Professor of Nanjing Agricultural University, China “With an ever growing population and limited natural resources, The Future of Food Business is an extremely valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of the food supply chain, and what the future of food business holds, particularly at a time when we find ourselves grappling with critical issues which will have a lasting impact on natural resources, the entire food system and how it is governed.” Adil K Sattar Executive Director, K&N's, Pakistan “Marcos develops creative ideas based on facts that are likely to contribute to the shaping of the food sector over the next ten years. His visions are accompanied by innovating tools very helpful for entrepreneurs, young managers and government officials by doing their strategic planning in the food sector. I fully share the epilogue of his book where he outlines the importance and the characteristics of managers that ‘make it happen’.” Hans Peter Baier COB Bongrain/Polenghi, South America “In less than 35 years, Africa's population will double to two billion people, approximately 25% of the global population then. Large areas are richly endowed with land and water, yet Africa remains a net importer of food. Professor Marcos Fava Neves, a very good friend of South Africa and Africa, has again shown, through The Future of Food Business, the way to develop globally competitive value chains that provide sustainable food security solutions and growth for the sector.” John Purchase CEO, Agribusiness Chamber, South Africa “I bought the book The Future of Food Business, from Kinokuniya in Singapore. It was a very unusual literature I ever came across on a book stand and bought it immediately after glancing once. I'm in the aquaculture segment operating in Singapore, and found this book very useful for my business future planning. It opened a wider perspective of my business and truly contributed in mapping my business operation and strategic plan.” Frank Tan Marine Life Aquaculture Pte Ltd, Singapore “Considering all the macro-environmental changes that are affecting food companies and agribusiness, Prof. Dr Marcos Fava shows us in a simple and clear way, what are the trends and impacts of this market in the future, and presents solutions, studies and new methods to elaborate an effective Strategic Plan. The Future of Food Business is required reading for students, agribusiness professionals and entrepreneurs.” Liza Rocha Account Manager at Natural Design, Brazil “Marcos Fava Neves is a novel professor who tries to understand why some players apply certain strategies, move in different directions or work with several companies. His insights in this new book are the result of the study of food and agribusiness at theoretical and practical levels. He provides many examples and cases with strong theoretical support leveraged with his experiences as advisor of companies, networks, chains and clusters in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and the US among other countries. As a result, Professor Fava Neves' book, a must-read for students as well as for entrepreneurs, has the makings of a best seller.” Sebastian Senesi and Hernan Palau Professors at University of BuenosAires, Argentina “The challenge that we have to feed the world in the next fifty years is enormous. I am very pleased that Dr Marcos Fava is making the effort to enlighten those people not working in agriculture so that they have a better understanding of the magnitude of the efforts that are needed for us to be successful.” Jerry Moye President of Cobb, Vantress International, USA “This book provides an answer to the future of food business challenges. Really, we are living in a time when the world is more connected, and equally the challenges are more complicated as never before, furthermore society, environment and economics are interconnected more. Within this view, Marcos Fava Neves presents solutions and our future thinking to address the problems in simple and innovative manner with scientific discoveries. In addition, this book is very informative in how to fill the gaps in the world's demand for food and society responsibility during this uncertain and volatile food market. Thank you for showing us the facts, the impacts and how to act …” Mogos Yakob Teweldemedhin Professor at University Polytechnic of Namibia, Africa “Marcos Fava Neves has written a very intelligent book providing both expert as well as the general public stimulating insights into the intricacies of the global food business. In view of its complexities and challenges this book is a must-read.” Guy Kempfert Director, Syngenta Basel, Switzerland Reviews from the First Edition: “Marcos Fava Neves describes the very complex global food chain and suggests methods and tools that can be used by companies to adjust their strategies and operational concepts in an ever rapid changing world. He discusses trends, world food crises, food chain complexity and strategic planning for food companies. It is an essential read for entrepreneurs and researchers who are active in the worldwide food chain network.” Hans Johr Corporate Head of Agriculture, Nestle Switzerland “The Future of Food Business presents a comprehensive look at our challenges in food chain, combining theory with relevant examples in this space. This should be mandatory for all students and professionals that work in agribusiness.” Renato Seraphim Business Development, Bayer Latin America “I think the research and analysis done by Dr Fava Neves leading to a rather conclusive strategy is a good reflection of his deep insight into the food value chain. The presentation style in the book makes for easy reading too.” M D Ramesh CEO of OLAM Africa “The Future of Food Business is an easy-to-read book. Each chapter presents an important issue and ends with intriguing questions for debate, which makes it particularly useful in strategic planning processes. Highly recommended.” Mary Shelman Director of Harvard Business School, USA “The path forward to 2050 requires new innovative thought leaders in order to meet the challenges of increased food production for a growing and affluent global population. Dr Fava Neves motivates readers to rethink how business gets done on frontlines.” Paul Jasper CEO, Covered Logistics and Transportation, USA “Marcos' book elucidates the impending food challenge that will be a central concern for most governments in the immediate future; he puts forth innovative practical solutions to address the issue. The book is a must read for not only concerned people in the public and private enterprises but responsible citizenry all over the world. The book should be part of reference reading for most college graduates to create an awareness about the issues as they are impacted most by the food crisis.” Raj Vardhan Vice President, OLAM International, China “I had the opportunity to actively participate in a one day seminar of Professor Marcos Fava Neves in Saint Louis, USA, where the content of the book was presented and discussed. I am amazed about the knowledge the author has about the food industry.” G B Sundarajan Suguna Foods Limited, India “Marcos is a profound analyst of global food and agribusiness issues. He has a great vision, youth behavior and sagacity to understand complex environment and translate in a simple message.” Gustavo Grobocopatel CEO of Los Grobo, Argentina “Food used to be a day-to-day task to provide for it and it is very close to everybody's imagination. However, today's society is characterized by individuals who are regarded to be a food expert but it takes people like Dr. Marcos Fava Neves who not only explains today's food supply and puts food into a global perspective but also challenges tomorrows needs and requirements. All with an open mindset and in a stimulating and inviting style. I suggest you join and become a knowledgeable food entrepreneur as well.” Marc van Genuchten Commercial Director, Continental Juice/Cutrale, The Netherlands

We are in the midst of an unprecedented era of rapid scientific and technological advances that are transforming the way our foods are produced and consumed. Food architecture is being used to construct healthier, tastier, and more sustainable foods. Functional foods are being created to combat chronic diseases such as obesity, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. These foods are fortified with nutraceuticals or probiotics to improve our mood, performance, and health. The behavior of foods inside our guts is being controlled to increase their healthiness. Precision nutrition is being used to tailor diets to our unique genetic profiles, microbiomes, and metabolisms. Gene editing, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence are being used to address modern food challenges such as feeding the growing global population, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing waste, and improving sustainability. However, the application of these technologies is facing a backlash from consumers concerned about the potential risks posed to human and environmental health. Some of the questions addressed in this book are: What is food architecture? How does sound and color impact taste? Will we all have 3D food printers in all our homes? Should nanotechnology and gene editing be used to enhance our foods? Are these new technologies safe? Would you eat bug-foods if it led to a more sustainable food supply? Should vegetarians eat themselves? Can nutraceuticals and probiotics stop cancer? What is the molecular basis of a tasty sustainable burger? David Julian McClements is a Distinguished Professor in food science who has used physics, chemistry, and biology to improve the quality, safety, and healthiness of foods for over 30 years. He has published over 900 scientific articles and 10 books in this area and is currently the most highly cited food scientist in the world. He has won numerous scientific awards for his work. The aim of this book is to highlight the many exciting advances being made in the science of foods, and to show their application for solving important problems related to the modern food supply, such as tackling chronic diseases, feeding a global population, reducing food waste, and creating healthier and tastier foods.
