Abstract

Transnational corporations are powerful agents on the global food landscape. They have been able to shift and adapt their activities in a global food economy that has been constantly in flux in recent decades, while at the same time shaping it in ways that serve their interests. The papers in this section highlight the strategies corporations have taken to enhance their power and control in the food system across a range of activities from production to consumption and assess the wider implications of corporate activity in the sector.
