Until the late 19th century the
food industry was restricted to a few activities, usually based on
small scale industries. The links between agriculture and food
processing were very tight. Due to increased purchasing power,
population growth and urbanisation, the demand for food grew
substantially. This was not only the case for basis products as
corn and potatoes, but also and especially for more expensive,
quality products as meat, fish and dairy produce. These
developments generated, together with the essential technological
innovations, the creation and development of modern food processing
in specialized shops and factories. In only a few decades these
industries transformed from an important complement to the primary
agricultural production on the farms to a much comprising
industrial business. At the end of the 20th century food processing
has evolved into a modern, high-tech industry, dominated by a few
large enterprises, offering a wide range of products. This volume
aims to turn the spotlight on this often neglected but important
link in the food chain.
