The book examines the transformative impact of digital and molecular technologies on food production and consumption in the US, Western Europe, and Australasia. It addresses contemporary agri-food issues, including Precision Agriculture, gene editing, and alternative proteins, while highlighting the socio-economic consequences of these innovations. The analysis reveals challenges such as the decline of rural communities and industrial concentration, along with a lack of progress towards sustainable low-carbon food systems despite increasing public pressure for change.
