Over the last two decades, increasing concerns about health risks related to diets have had significant impacts on food consumption patterns in the United States and Europe. This timely book presents the results of several comparative studies of the impacts of health information on food consumption behavior amongst various socio-economic groups, and across many different countries. It also provides economic analysis of food demand estimations, and implications for future global food systems.
"Overall this book provides a worthwhile collection of empirical papers on food demand. It is potentially useful for both the health policy community and food demand analysts."
