Cultural Changes and Food Production

Abstract: This paper explores the relationship between work-related values and food production modes. Following cultural materialism theory in anthropology, we hypothesize that the collective programming of mind began when humans adopted different methods to produce food. Using food production data in the 1970s and in the 1990s, we found that per capita production of milk was positively related to Hofstede's individualism and negatively related to power distance. Meanwhile, the production of fruits and vegetables in the… Show more

“…Driven with the increment of human population in the world, trend of total world fishery production has increased from 2009 to 2014 with an average growth rate of about 2.77% per year [1]. This growth mostly came from aquaculture sector instead of capture practice with annual growth rate of 8.8% [2]. Global aquaculture production has reached 73.8 million tons in 2014 with an estimated value of USD160.2 billion.…”

“…It has facilitated our transition from nomadic hunter-gatherers to settled agricultural societies. As a field, horticulture encompasses the science, technology, and art involved in the cultivation, propagation, processing, and marketing of ornamental plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and herbs [1,2]. At the core of horticulture lies the concept of plant phenotyping, the comprehensive assessment of complex plant traits such as growth, development, tolerance, resistance, architecture, physiology, ecology, and yield quality and quantity under a range of environmental conditions.…”
