The sociology of food is the study of food and its relation to society's history, development, and future. This study includes the production and consumption of food, as well as its medical, ethical, and spiritual uses.

Food distribution in societies can be examined by analyzing changes in the food supply chain. Globalization, in particular, significantly affects the food supply chain by enabling economies of scale in the food distribution industry.
