Abstract
Globalization of the food industry puts nations at risk. The emerging global food system is rapidly connecting agriculture and food production, sourcing, trading, transportation, and consumption, creating critical interdependencies. Amidst the rapidly developing interdependencies of the Global Age, the emerging complex global food system seems to be inciting a fundamental transformation across nations in the form of lifestyle changes. This fundamental transformation puts nations at risk. This chapter briefly addresses the global food industry and its associated risks.
