Produktbeschreibung

Food Through Time offers an exploration of how food systems have evolved, examining agricultural development, food preservation, and economic forces from prehistory to the modern era. It highlights how innovations in these areas have transformed human societies, enabling population growth and urbanization. A key insight is the shift from near-constant food scarcity to relative surplus in many regions, driven by advancements like crop rotation and preservation techniques such as drying and salting, which facilitated trade and warfare.

The book approaches its subject chronologically, starting with early hunting and gathering societies and progressing through the agricultural innovations of ancient civilizations and the challenges of the Middle Ages, including recurring famines. It culminates in an analysis of modern industrial agriculture, global food markets, and the issue of food waste.

The narrative emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of food systems, connecting history, economics, and environmental science to provide a comprehensive understanding of the past, present, and future of food.
