Abstract

The impacts of globalisation are myriad and varied, affecting many aspects of human life and activity. Food production, distribution, and consumption have not been exempted (Mak et al. 2012: 173; Lang 1999; Wilhelmina et al. 2010). Globalisation has enabled the spread of foods across the world, from the availability of sushi in landlocked countries, to the making of French baguette widely accessible and commonplace to households in many parts of the world.
