The introduction of new technologies can be controversial,
especially when they create ethical tensions as well as winners and
losers among stakeholders and interest groups. While ethical
tensions resulting from the genetic modification of crops and
plants and their supportive gene technologies have been apparent
for decades, persistent challenges remain. This book explores the
contemporary nature, type, extent and implications of ethical
tensions resulting from agricultural biotechnology specifically and
technology generally. There are four main arenas of ethical
tensions: public opinion, policy and regulation, technology as
solutions to problems, and older versus new technologies.
Contributions focus on one or more of these arenas by identifying
the ethical tensions technology creates and articulating emerging
fault lines and, where possible, viable solutions. Key features
include: Focusing on contemporary challenges created by new and
emerging technologies, especially agricultural biotechnology.
Identifying a unique perspective by considering the problem of
ethical tensions created or enhanced by new technologies. Providing
an interdisciplinary perspective by including perspectives from
sociologists, economists, philosophers and other social scientists.
This book will be of interest to academics in agricultural
economics, sociology and philosophy and policymakers concerned with
introducing new technology into agriculture.
