Food Safety and Informal Markets

"This highly readable book addresses an important topic for poverty alleviation and equitable agricultural development. It draws attention to the vital role of informal markets for poor people in Africa and reveals misconceptions about such markets. It contributes to a better understanding of the ethical and equity issues involved in food-safety regulation: Enforcing strict, top-down food-safety regulations can cause more harm than good, as they hinder poor producers and traders from earning a decent living, hinder poor consumers from accessing nutritious animal-based foods at affordable prices, and hinder efforts to motivate improved food handling to reduce risks of food-borne diseases. The book challenges development practitioners and policymakers to rethink their approaches to food safety so that they don’t ‘throw out the baby with the bathwater’. - Ann Waters-Bayer in "Agriculture and Human Values" (2016).
