Full Description
This book analyses the current debates within food system governance, covering different aspects of food systems (from production to consumption) as well as different fields of law (from human rights law to environmental law). Recognizing that the law, in interacting with multiple disciplines, plays a major role in setting binding targets for sustainable innovation and business transformation, it brings together contributors from a wide range of professions, including agriculture, law, and business to examine the dimensions of food systems and the challenges in transforming them.
The contributors to this book examine some of the most significant aspects of food law and regulation, including the effects of global warming, intellectual property rights, and human rights, as well as local and international viewpoints on food safety, information sharing, and systems transformation. They consider the history and present challenges of food production, the different approaches to addressing the issues faced, and the factors of human biology, psychology, cultural norms and religion that shape our food environments. The analysis of knowledge, values and institutions provides a holistic analysis of human food systems. Topics such as regenerative agriculture, novel and alternative foods, and health-enhancing foods are also covered.
With its interdisciplinary approach, this book will interest researchers in agricultural law, food policy, environmental law, transdisciplinary food studies, and food science.
