Il manuale intende offrire un'ampia ed aggiornata panoramica sulla legislazione (europea e nazionale) che regola l'affascinante mondo del vino, dalla raccolta dell'uva fino alla commercializzazione del prodotto finale al consumatore. Lo spettro degli argomenti trattati abbraccia infatti i piu rilevanti settori della disciplina vitivinicola: le norme generali sulla produzione ed il commercio dei vini; le misure di sostegno alla produzione; la disciplina dei vini a denominazione geografica; la gestione del potenziale produttivo ed il sistema amministrativo di controllo (schedario viticolo, diritti di impianto e reimpianto, documenti di accompagnamento, dichiarazioni obbligatorie ecc.); la presentazione e l'etichettatura dei prodotti; le norme di igiene e sicurezza alimentare; la vigilanza ed il sistema sanzionatorio (amministrativo e penale). Destinatari di questo lavoro sono non soltanto i professionisti (legali e tecnici) del settore, ma anche i semplici "appassionati," curiosi di scoprire quale intricato groviglio di norme, prescrizioni e divieti, si celi dietro una semplice bottiglia di vino.

Desde que fuera publicado el Codigo Alimentario con indice analitico en el 2001, la legislacion alimentaria costarricense ha sufrido una renovacion considerable. Sin embargo, esta rama del Derecho sigue caracterizandose por su fragmentacion y complejidad. El desfase historico de algunas de sus disposiciones, el encuentro entre normas provenientes de sistemas juridicos distintos y su alto grado de tecnicidad, dificultan particularmente su aplicacion. Legislacion alimentaria costarricense es una obra que ofrece al lector una vision unitaria y sistemica del derecho aplicable a los alimentos. En funcion de su contenido normativo, los ochenta textos fundamentales de esta rama de la legislacion han sido rigurosamente clasificados en categorias y subcategorias, lo que facilita su comprension y por ende, su aplicacion. La normativa se presenta actualizada y se acompana de numerosas anotaciones y referencias a la jurisprudencia administrativa. La obra ha sido editada en dos tomos.

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) directs the EPA to restrict the use of pesticides as necessary to prevent unreasonable adverse effects on people and the environment, taking into account the costs and benefits of various pesticide use. There are an estimated 18,000 pesticide products currently in use. These generally are regulated under the FIFRA. This book provides a brief history of the federal pesticide laws and describes key provisions of the laws; including the pesticide registration process and how it interfaces with food safety requirements.

Roughly every five years, Congress debates legislation governing federal farm and food policy. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (also known as the "Farm Bill") was enacted into law on June 18, 2008. It contains 15 titles covering support for commodity crops, horticulture and livestock production, conservation, nutrition, trade and food aid, agricultural research, farm credit, rural development, energy, forestry and other related programs. The enacted bill succeeds the most recent 2002 Farm Bill and is to guide most federal farm and food policies through 2012. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates the total cost of the 2008 farm bill at just under $284 billion in total budget authority over five years. This book is a study of the new Farm Bill and its costs, provisions by title, programs and related topics.

Americans have always regarded farming as a special calling, one imbued with the Jeffersonian values of individualism and self- sufficiency. As Victoria Saker Woeste demonstrates, farming's cultural image continued to shape Americans' expectations of rural society long after industrialization radically transformed the business of agriculture. Even as farmers enthusiastically embraced cooperative marketing to create unprecedented industry- wide monopolies and control prices, they claimed they were simply preserving their traditional place in society. In fact, the new legal form of cooperation far outpaced judicial and legislative developments at both the state and federal levels, resulting in a legal and political struggle to redefine the place of agriculture in the industrial market. Woeste shows that farmers were adept at both borrowing such legal forms as the corporate trust for their own purposes and obtaining legislative recognition of the new cooperative style. In the process, however, the first rule of capitalism--every person for him- or herself--trumped the traditional principle of cooperation. After 1922, state and federal law wholly endorsed cooperation's new form. Indeed, says Woeste, because of its corporate roots, this model of cooperation fit so neatly with the regulatory paradigms of the first half of the twentieth century that it became an essential policy of the modern administrative state. |Examines changes in the farming industry from 1865-1945, when industrialization radically transformed the business of agriculture. Uses the example of cooperative marketing to show how farmers used legal strategies to their own purposes.

Bill 6, the government of Alberta's contentious farm workers' safety legislation, sparked public debate as no other legislation has done in recent years. The Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act provides a right to work safely and a compensation system for those killed or injured at work, similar to other provinces. In nine essays, contributors to Farm Workers in Western Canada place this legislation in context. They look at the origins, work conditions, and precarious lives of farm workers in terms of larger historical forces such as colonialism, land rights, and racism. They also examine how the rights and privileges of farm workers, including seasonal and temporary foreign workers, conflict with those of their employers, and reveal the barriers many face by being excluded from most statutory employment laws, sometimes in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
