From Seedling to Supermarket: The Social and Environmental Implications for Australia of the Restructuring of Agri-food Supply Chains

农业食品行业的组织对供应链上的公司和个人产生了重大影响，包括农场生产的可持续性。如果所生产的食品来自无害环境的生产和分配系统，澳大利亚将受益匪浅：目前的证据表明，可持续性尚未实现。新出现的超级市场自律制度也可能对环境安全和食品安全产生不利影响。最后，超市的做法对消费者的饮食和健康有着深远的影响。在探索电力、食品安全监管和饮食等问题时，该研究将有助于澳大利亚建立一个更健康的食品生产和消费体系。

The organisation of agri-food industries is having a major impact upon firms and individuals along the supply chain, including the sustainability of on-farm production. Australia will benefit greatly if foods being produced are from environmentally sound production and distribution systems: current evidence suggests sustainability is not being achieved. The emerging self-regulatory system for supermarkets may also militate against environmental security and food safety. Finally, supermarket practices have a profound influence over consumer diet and health. In exploring issues of power, food safety regulation, and diet, the research will contribute to a healthier system of food production and consumption in Australia.
