Identifying food policy coherence in Italian regional policies
Achieving a coherent set of food-related policies is a challenge for policymakers worldwide, as food matters are addressed at more than one level of governance and across several policy domains. Policies in different domains can sustain each other by sharing the same objectives and actions or they can hinder each other, resulting in different levels of coherence. Focusing on the case study of the region Emilia-Romagna (Italy), the present researc…

Challenges to the food supply in the UK
Organizing for thoughtful food
The right thing to do’
This paper explores the role of ethics and responsibility as drivers of a transition to a more sustainable agri-food system, by drawing on an investigation of the governance of social sustainability in the UK’s conventional food supply. The paper investigates how and why various non-state actors in the conventional food supply construe certain social obligations as being part of the remit of the food supply; whether ethics plays a motivating role…
Symposium introduction—ethics and sustainable agri-food governance
Food agencies as an institutional response to policy failure by the UK and the EU
The UK public's confidence in the quality of the modern food supply, and in the governance of that supply, took a buffeting through a series of food safety crises. At both the UK and the EU level of governance there was a perception of policy failure over the safety of the final food product emerging from the supply chain. The determination of some key decisions by the EU and its member states has been explained within a framework of multilevel g…
Food security and food sustainability
The notion of food security has an important history as a key concept for 20th-century policymakers. Two overarching perspectives on food security are identified. One centred on raising production as the core answer to under-consumption and hunger. The other is an emerging perspective, more social and ecological, accepting the need to address a complex array of problems, not just production. The first is primarily agricultural-focused; the latter…
Food Policy
Food policy has long been viewed as an essential part of the public health agenda, but this book identifies the importance of environmental damage and social inequalities to these issues. The authors offer a review of current and past food policy, proposing the need for a new ecological public health approach to food policy.

Policy Councils on Food, Nutrition and Physical Activity
International experience of Policy Councils on food and nutrition has developed over recent decades but they have not received the attention that is due to them.. The 1992 International Conference on Nutrition recommended that governments create Food Policy Councils but few have been created. .There has been more experience in local and sub-national policy councils, particularly in North America. .Developing country experience of attempting to im…

Joined–up Food Policy? The Trials of Governance, Public Policy and the Food System
To address the policy malfunctions of the recent past and present, UK food policy needs to link policy areas that in the past have been dealt with in a disparate manner, and to draw on a new ecological public health approach. This will need a shift within the dominant trade liberalization–national economic competitiveness paradigm that currently informs UK food policy, and the international levels of the EU and the WTO trade rules, and grants the…
Food, Social Policy and the Environment
Food policy is high on the public policy agenda, but still suffers from a lack of overview and integration. The paper reviews examples of policy limitations where tighter and more explicit links could usefully be made between environmental, social and public health considerations. The paper proposes a new ecological health approach to public policy. This offers marked advantages over the present “productionist” approach to food policy. With this …
The European community and the legislating of the application and products of genetic modification technology
In recent years the European Community (EC) has been engaged in legislating to take account of the application and products of genetic modification technology (GMT), seeking to fulfil the need to supervise and adequately regulate this technology, whilst promoting and enabling the growth of the industrial sectors using it. A range of environmental and consumer interest, and more sectional interest, have variously sought firm regulatory guidelines …
