Book Looking east looking west

Download or read book Looking east looking west written by Bill Slee and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a unique collection of European and Asian perspectives on the production, trade and consumption of high quality food. The rapidly growing demand for organic and quality food in Europe imposes new challenges on competing food value chains. Europe, as the biggest worldwide food importer, attracts many developing and developed countries in Asia. Prospering Chinese and Thai food markets offer new opportunities for European operators. Wealthy and informed consumers on both continents search for trustworthy high quality food products. Farmers, operators and retailers from distant cultures are coping with different standards, facing the ever increasing necessity for mutual understanding. This publication is the output of Bean-Quorum, a European funded Asia-Link project. Bean-Quorum represents a consolidated network of researchers working together with the business sector and NGOs to enhance European Asian understanding about organic and quality food. This book describes global trends in organic and quality food trade and connects them with recent developments in Asian and European market structures. Selected case studies illustrate the impact of organic and quality food production on topics ranging from sustainable rural development, to the potential of exotic new plant varieties to purchase decisions of European or Asian retail managers. Selected European markets are mirrored by the situation in Chinese and Thai markets. Finally, environmental issues concerning global trade of quality food are addressed.

Book Trends and Changes in the Chinese Food Market

Download or read book Trends and Changes in the Chinese Food Market written by Jun Lee and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its economic reform and market opening in 1978, China has been of concern to many entrepreneurs and policymakers as one of the most competitive manufacturing locations over the last 30 years. During this period, China has attracted investment of foreign capital in their industry by offering a highly amicable investment climate, thereby securing a chance to restructure their economic system.As a result, China has experienced unprecedented rapid economic growth, which has turned the Chinese into attractive consumers with latent purchasing power, not just workers with a high quality work force.In this study, we analyze the Chinese food market, the most remarkable consumer market experiencing structural change, and seek out business opportunities and challenges for the Korean food processing industry where they try to find the next growth engine going beyond the stagnation in industries' growth.For this purpose, we first review the supply and demand sector of the Chinese food market by examining the statistics for the food processing industry sector and household food consumption. Next, we measure the change in food consumption patterns, particularly focusing on changes in the food demand behavior of urban households.Based on the results analyzed above, we lastly evaluate the current performance and potential of the Korean food processing industry in the Chinese food market, and then find a way to sustain long term success in this market.

Book Chop Suey  USA

  • Author : Yong Chen

  • Release : 2014-11-04
  • ISBN : 0231538162
  • Pages : 325 pages

Download or read book Chop Suey USA written by Yong Chen and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American diners began to flock to Chinese restaurants more than a century ago, making Chinese food the first mass-consumed cuisine in the United States. By 1980, it had become the country's most popular ethnic cuisine. Chop Suey, USA offers the first comprehensive interpretation of the rise of Chinese food, revealing the forces that made it ubiquitous in the American gastronomic landscape and turned the country into an empire of consumption. Engineered by a politically disenfranchised, numerically small, and economically exploited group, Chinese food's tour de America is an epic story of global cultural encounter. It reflects not only changes in taste but also a growing appetite for a more leisurely lifestyle. Americans fell in love with Chinese food not because of its gastronomic excellence but because of its affordability and convenience, which is why they preferred the quick and simple dishes of China while shunning its haute cuisine. Epitomized by chop suey, American Chinese food was a forerunner of McDonald's, democratizing the once-exclusive dining-out experience for such groups as marginalized Anglos, African Americans, and Jews. The rise of Chinese food is also a classic American story of immigrant entrepreneurship and perseverance. Barred from many occupations, Chinese Americans successfully turned Chinese food from a despised cuisine into a dominant force in the restaurant market, creating a critical lifeline for their community. Chinese American restaurant workers developed the concept of the open kitchen and popularized the practice of home delivery. They streamlined certain Chinese dishes, such as chop suey and egg foo young, turning them into nationally recognized brand names.

Book Organic Food Industry in China   Current State and Future Prospects

Download or read book Organic Food Industry in China Current State and Future Prospects written by Carola Milbrodt and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2005-08-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2004 in the subject Orientalism / Sinology - Chinese / China, grade: 1,0, Free University of Berlin (Ostasiatisches Seminar), language: English, abstract: Chinese economic growth rates may send many people into raptures, but the agricultural sector is usually excluded from this enthusiasm. Being the problem child among Chinas economic sectors, agriculture is characterized by its low productivity and sluggish development, negatively affecting the national development, and in particular, a rural upturn. Under these conditions, the emergence of environmentally friendly farming – including organic agriculture – gives rise to great hopes, since these approaches are expected to have positive influences on economic, social and ecological fields. Organic farming continues to show a rapid development world-wide. On the Asian continent the total area of organic production still is relatively small, but the interest in organic is steadily increasing. According to a SÖL-survey, among the countries in Asia “ [...] China heralds perhaps the highest growth potential [for organic farming] in the near future.” The Chinese organic development is only a few years old, but more than one third of Asia’s total area under organic management is already situated in China. Tremendous growth rates have been evolving in all fields of the Chinese organic industry and market. In 1990, the Dutch organic certification body SKAL inspected and later certified a Chinese tea plantation, which became the first organic farm in China. Four years later, the earliest Chinese organic certification body, OFDC, was established. By 1995, altogether almost 45,000 ha of land were reported to be certified as organically cultivated in China. If the SÖL is right with its estimation, the certified organic production area increased to more than 100,000 ha in 2001, plus about 200,000 ha that are cultivated according to organic standards, but still have not received an organic certificate. Nevertheless, this is only 0,06 % of the total agricultural land in China.

Book Golden Arches East

  • Author : James L. Watson
  • Publisher : Stanford University Press
  • Release : 2006-03-13
  • ISBN : 9780804767392
  • Pages : 288 pages

Download or read book Golden Arches East written by James L. Watson and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: McDonald's restaurants are found in over 100 countries, serving tens of millions of people each day. What are the cultural implications of this phenomenal success? The widely read—and widely acclaimed—Golden Arches East argues that McDonald's has largely become divorced from its American roots and become a "local" institution for an entire generation of affluent consumers in Hong Kong, Beijing, Taipei, Seoul, and Tokyo. In the second edition, James L. Watson also covers recent attacks on the fast-food chain as a symbol of American imperialism, and the company's role in the obesity controversy currently raging in the U.S. food industry, bringing the story of East Asian franchises into the twenty-first century. Praise for the First Edition: "Golden Arches East is a fascinating study that explores issues of globalization by focusing on the role of McDonald's in five Asian economies and [concludes] that in many countries McDonald's has been absorbed by local communities and become assimilated, so that it is no longer thought of as a foreign restaurant and in some ways no longer functions as one." —Nicholas Kristof, New York Times Book Review "This is an important book because it shows accurately and with subtlety how transnational culture emerges. It must be read by anyone interested in globalization. It is concise enough to be used for courses in anthropology and Asian studies." —Joseph Bosco, China Journal "The strength of this book is that the contributors contextualize not just the food side of McDonald's, but the social and cultural activity on which this culture is embedded. These are culturally rich stories from the anthropology of everyday life." —Paul Noguchi, Journal of Asian Studies "Here is the rare academic study that belongs in every library."—Library Journal

Book Chop Suey and Sushi from Sea to Shining Sea

Download or read book Chop Suey and Sushi from Sea to Shining Sea written by Bruce Makoto Arnold and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in Chop Suey and Sushi from Sea to Shining Sea fill gaps in the existing food studies by revealing and contextualizing the hidden, local histories of Chinese and Japanese restaurants in the United States. The writer of these essays show how the taste and presentation of Chinese and Japanese dishes have evolved in sweat and hardship over generations of immigrants who became restaurant owners, chefs, and laborers in the small towns and large cities of America. These vivid, detailed, and sometimes emotional portrayals reveal the survival strategies deployed in Asian restaurant kitchens over the past 150 years and the impact these restaurants have had on the culture, politics, and foodways of the United States. Some of these authors are family members of restaurant owners or chefs, writing with a passion and richness that can only come from personal investment, while others are academic writers who have painstakingly mined decades of archival data to reconstruct the past. Still others offer a fresh look at the amazing continuity and domination of the “evil Chinaman” stereotype in the “foreign” world of American Chinatown restaurants. The essays include insights from a variety of disciplines, including history, sociology, anthropology, ethnography, economics, phenomenology, journalism, food studies, and film and literary criticism. Chop Suey and Sushi from Sea to Shining Sea not only complements the existing scholarship and exposes the work that still needs to be done in this field, but also underscores the unique and innovative approaches that can be taken in the field of American food studies.
