Nutritious foods: Wealth Is Defined by Health

By: Burton, Y.

The financialization of food: an overview
In the previous chapter we saw how the financial system has progressively acquired greater autonomy with respect to the dynamics of production and, due to this self-referentiality, today it contributes to exacerbate the need for growth in the economy, aggravating its pressure on the social and natural ecosystem. . A pressure that if it has already begun to be heard clearly from the 1970s and 1980s, now translates into an even more aggressive submission of the environment to the functioning of an economy increasingly exposed to financial pressures. This submission materializes in a tendency to reorder non-economic and more-than-economic forms of relationality, in order to align them with the expansive needs of computingeconomic. In fact, traditionally, the set of relationships that intertwine around the production and consumption of food have characteristics that cannot be described in purely economic terms.
