Future Of Food

This article focuses on understanding the relative merits of private, third party, and government labeling systems that differ in who sets the standards and who certifies that the product deserves to carry the label. It focuses briefly on economic and marketing tools for understanding relationships between information, product quality, and labeling. It then turns to incentives and rationales for labeling to be private, third party, or government-based and considerations for evaluating the performance of labeling systems. This article presents a survey of the evidence to date on the performance impacts of different labeling schemes and summarizes key insights from impact of labeling that are relevant to the comparison of different types of food labeling. It concludes with a discussion of key issues for the future of food labeling, food labeling policy, and performance and mentions that the major issue for the future is how well and reliably different labeling schemes will deliver information on verified quality.

Medieval philosophers presented Gettier-type objections to the commonly accepted view of knowledge as firmly held true belief, and formulated additional conditions that meet the objections or analyzed knowledge in a way that is immune to the Gettier-type objections. The proposed conditions can be divided into two kinds: backward-looking conditions and forward-looking conditions. The former concern an inquirer’s current belief system and the way the inquirer acquired her beliefs, the latter refer to what the inquirer may come to learn in the future and how she can respond to objections. Some conditions of knowledge proposed in late nineteenth- and twentieth-century epistemology can be regarded as variants of the conditions put forward by medieval authors.
