Description
Summary:

This international symposium, which marks the centenary of the invention of margarine, surveys the rise of the edible fats industry from its beginnings in France and the Netherlands to its present position as one of the most important strategic industries. Its relation to agriculture is dealt with particularly by K. E. Hunt , who considers the production and marketing of the various oil-bearing plants and animal fats, together with the effects of international trade and government policies on these agricultural products. Aspects of marketing and government intervention relating to margarine are developed by R. D. Tousley and /. H. van Stuyvenberg , including problems of competition with butter.
