Eating NAFTA: Trade, Food Policies and the Destruction of Mexico (2018), by Alyshia Gálvez, published in English by the University of California Press, and still without translation in Brazil, clarifies in detail and in a timely manner the relationship between loss biodiversity, migration, changes in Mexican food culture, diet-related illnesses and international trade agreements. Focusing on the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta), in force since 1994, it analyzes the two decades following the agreement, showing its impact on the lives of Mexicans living on both sides of the border. In addition to the work reviewed, this text presents the latest developments that led to the implications and alteration of NAFTA, transforming it into the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
