The perception along with the manner of food consumption has been a rapidly changing phenomenon. Compared to a few decades ago, the cost of food items have gone up due to which, there is convenient availability of food from regions that consumers previously could not have imagined to receive food from. This paper talks about the emerging and established transnational organizations, such as the World Trade Organization, which have been actively involved into the global food chain systems. They make the production and distribution of food items around different parts of the world a well defined mechanism, ensuring food security.
