People have expressed their worries about the future of the food supply in myriad ways, and here Belasco explores a fascinating array of material ranging over two hundred years-from futuristic novels and films to world's fairs, Disney amusement parks, supermarket and restaurant architecture, organic farmers' markets, debates over genetic engineering, and more. Placing food issues in this deep historical context, he provides an innovative framework for understanding the future of food today-when new prophets warn us against complacency at the same time that new technologies offer promising solutions. But will our grandchildren's grandchildren enjoy the cornucopian bounty most of us take for granted? This first history of the future to put food at the center of the story provides an intriguing perspective on this question for anyone-from general readers to policy analysts, historians, and students of the future-who has wondered about the future of life's most basic requirement. 410 0$aCalifornia studies in food and culture ;$v16. 606 $aFood supply 606 $aFood$xHistory 610 $a20th century american culture. 610 $a20th century american food history. 610 $aamerican studies. 610 $acooking. 610 $aculinary. 610 $adisney amusements parks. 610 $adisney world. 610 $adisneyland. 610 $adystopia. 610 $afarmers markets. 610 $afood and innovation. 610 $afood and technology. 610 $afood security. 610 $afood supply. 610 $afood writings. 610 $afood. 610 $afuture of food. 610 $afuturistic films. 610 $afuturistic novels. 610 $agastronomy. 610 $agenetic engineering. 610 $agmos. 610 $ahuman anxiety. 610 $ahumanity. 610 $aorganic foods. 610 $arestaurants. 610 $asocial anxiety. 610 $asupermarkets. 610 $autopia. 615 0$aFood supply. 615 0$aFood$xHistory. 676 $a641.3009 700 $aBelasco$b Warren James$01479210 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784419803321 996 $aMeals to come$93695218 997 $aUNINA
