The Food Industry is a complex, global collective of diverse businesses that supply most of the food consumed by the world population.

Only subsistence farmers, those who survive on what they grow, and hunter-gatherers can be considered outside of the scope of the modern food industry.

Baking is a method of cooking food that uses prolonged dry heat, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones.

The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are baked.

Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of cakes, cookies, and breads to their centre.

As heat travels through it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods with a firm dry crust and a softer centre".

Baking can be combined with grilling to produce a hybrid barbecue variant by using both methods simultaneously, or one after the other.

Baking is related to barbecuing because the concept of the masonry oven is similar to that of a smoke pit.
