Can The Global Food Industry Overcome Public Distrust? - Forbes
Food is the largest segment of the global economy. It is also widely recognized as more critical for human health than any pharmaceutical drug on the planet.
But significant changes in the industry are making people lose trust in many institutions involved in putting food on our table, says agribusiness expert Ray A. Goldberg, the George M. Moffett professor of agriculture and business, emeritus, at Harvard Business School.
The list of institutional offenders includes food conglomerates that create products unhealthy for human consumption, food scientists who genetically alter ingredients, and some farmers who are seen as wasteful keepers of their lands.
