| Description | Nowhere is the crisis of neoliberalism more exposed than in the globalised system of food production. Exploitation of scientific and technological advancements by allied forces of market capitalism and neoliberal governance created an efficient system of food production that postponed the Malthusian threat but replaced it with several more immediate threats: environmental, social and health-related. The Marxian concept of metabolic rift offers a useful tool for a brief and incomplete reminder of threats brought by the neoliberal system of food production and consumption. |
