These food fears have cast a shadow as long as Africa, where farmers struggle to meet European demand for the certifiably clean green bean. Britain and France still do business mostly with their former colonies, in ways that differ as dramatically as their national cuisines. French Beans and Food Scares explores the cultural economies of two "non-traditional" commodity trades between Africa and Europe - one anglophone, the other francophone - in order to show not only why they differ but also how both have felt the fall-out of the wealthy world's food scares.Oxford scholarship online.Produce tradeGovernment policyEnglandHorticultural products industryGovernment policyEnglandProduce tradeGovernment policyFranceHorticultural products industryGovernment policyFranceProduce tradeGovernment policyAfricaHorticultural products industryGovernment policyAfricaProduce tradeGovernment policyUnited StatesHorticultural products industryGovernment policyUnited StatesProduce tradeGovernment policyDeveloping countriesHorticultural products industryGovernment policyDeveloping countriesFood adulteration and inspectionInternational cooperationHorticultural productsInspectionInternational cooperationElectronic books.Produce tradeGovernment policyHorticultural products industryGovernment policyProduce tradeGovernment policyHorticultural products industryGovernment policyProduce tradeGovernment policyHorticultural products industryGovernment policyProduce tradeGovernment policyHorticultural products industryGovernment policyProduce tradeGovernment policyHorticultural products industryGovernment policyFood adulteration and inspectionInternational cooperation.Horticultural productsInspectionInternational cooperation.382/.41/094Freidberg Susanne1966-944900MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450309303321French beans and food scares2133227UNINA
