Recent advances in agri-food technology have brought increasing
complexity and emerging challenges to food safety regulation and
governance, with many countries greatly divided in their regulatory
approaches. As more advanced CRISPR-based gene-editing technologies
and novel foods such as cloned animal products, non-traditional
plants, nanofood, and plant-based meat are rapidly being developed,
debates arise as to whether the existing models of governance
require revision to ensure consumer safety. Of equal importance is
the extensive use of pesticides, additives, and animal drugs, which
raise concerns over the methods and approaches of government
approval and phasing out of potentially risk-causing chemicals.
Heightened public criticism of food safety and technology poses a
signifi cant challenge to governments around the world, which
struggle to strike a proper balance between technocracy- and
democracy-oriented risk governance models. Drawing on expertise
from the United States, European Union, Japan, China, Korea,
Association of South East Asian Nations, Malaysia, and Taiwan, this
book explores existing and emerging issues of food law and policy
in the context of technology governance to offer an overarching
framework for the interaction between food regulation and
technology. It will be essential reading for academics, students,
and practitioners with an interest in food law and policy,
agricultural law and policy, and food safety and nutrition studies.
