FOOD SAFETY POLICY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF AUSTRIAN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS

Journal Title: Roczniki Naukowe Stowarzyszenia Ekonomistów Rolnictwa i Agrobiznesu - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

The aim of the article is the economic evaluation of the effects of food safety policy in the light of the Austrian school of economics theories. Food safety policy imposes stringent requirements for food production and consumption, what deprives the food of natural character. This kind of policy ignores the diversified consumers needs. Sanitary, veterinary and technical requirements limit the possibilities of the food production by fragmented farms. The function of food producers takes concentrated food industry. The transfer of added value from agriculture to industry and commerce occurs.<br/><br/>
