Abstract
The paper looks into modern risks and challenges of food. The author believes that the roots lay in liberal biopolicies that originated from 17th century Europe and are based on principles of scientism, formal rationalism, pragmatism and mercantilism. During last century, this policy had undergone major changes to its character – it becomes globally networked and neoliberal. These transformations had only served to amplify risks and challenges of food, because now said principles of scientism, formal rationalism, pragmatism and mercantilism went global, spawning global social inequality, adding to social-natural turbulences, in particular by increasing production of genetically modified products. To escape the systematic crisis of nutrition, we should not try to “cure” the global neoliberal biopolicy, but to switch to the humanistic biopolicy that will enable effective global food risk management against the background of unanimous development of countries and civilizations.
Keywords:
biopolitics, biopolitical practice, the global agribusiness, genetically modified crops, openness, food, risks, bioethics, humanistic biopolitics
