This Encyclopedia offers a definitive source on issues pertaining
to the full range of topics in the important new area of food and
agricultural ethics. It includes summaries of historical
approaches, current scholarship, social movements, and new trends
from the standpoint of the ethical notions that have shaped them.
It combines detailed analyses of specific topics such as the role
of antibiotics in animal production, the Green Revolution, and
alternative methods of organic farming, with longer entries that
summarize general areas of scholarship and explore ways that they
are related. Renewed debate, discussion and inquiry into food and
agricultural topics have become a hallmark of the turn toward more
sustainable policies and lifestyles in the 21st century. Attention
has turned to the goals and ethical rationale behind production,
distribution and consumption of food, as well as to non-food uses
of cultivated biomass and the products of animal husbandry. These
wide-ranging debates encompass questions in human nutrition, animal
rights and the environmental impacts of aquaculture and
agricultural production. Each of these and related topics is both
technically complex and involves an - often implicit - ethical
dimension. Other topics include methods for integrating ethics into
scientific and technical research programs or development projects,
the role of intensive agriculture and biotechnology in addressing
persistent world hunger and the role of crops, forests and
engineered organisms in making a transition to renewable,
carbon-neutral sources of energy. The Encyclopedia of Food and
Agricultural Ethics proves an indispensible reference point for
future research and writing on topics in agriculture and food
ethics for decades to come.
