Introduction: The Globalization of Geographical Indications: The Challenge for Asia

Louis Augustin-Jean

A chapter in Geographical Indications and International Agricultural Trade, 2012, pp 1-16 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Since the end of the Second World War, the dominant model of food production has been characterized, at least in developed countries, by economies of scale, the production of standardized goods, and mass consumption. By no means limited to agricultural products, this standardization implies a high degree of coordination between the agricultural and industrial sectors, leading to the emergence of an agro-food complex — with the aim of producing more at cheaper prices.
