This book addresses the production practices employed in the
production of food animals and animal products that enable
marketers to sell a variety of products to meet consumer demand.
Food animal production practices have come under increased scrutiny
by consumers who object to inputs and practices. The industry has
been a proponent of using technologies to reduce production costs,
resulting in lower-priced meat and animal food products, and now
consumers are starting to look at other objectives. This book
considers the key issues of concern to consumers, including the
treatment of animals, the use of antibiotics, feed additives and
hormones, and how these are monitored, regulated, and communicated
to consumers. It also reviews labeling and information provided to
consumers, including organic, genetic engineering, welfare
standards, and place of origin. While the main focus is on the
United States, there are descriptions of European practices and
legislation. Overall, it aims to provide an objective and balanced
appraisal, which will be of interest to advanced students and
researchers in agricultural, food and environmental economics, law
and policy, and animal production and welfare. It will also be very
useful for early career professionals in the food and agricultural
sectors.

Environmental Law and Regulations to Protect People helps students
master concepts of environmental law and public well-being by
combining legal concepts with actual cases to show how conflicts
are handled under current laws and regulations. The learning
process focuses on reading legal cases to discern regulatory
approaches for safeguarding people. Through the subsequent
questions about each case, students are introduced to concepts and
terminology, and they learn how to analyze and resolve disputes.
Students also become familiar with legislative and regulatory
policies and choices for addressing particular environmental
problems. The text covers constitutional proscriptions,
establishing liability, precluding environmental degradation,
safeguarding environmental quality, and regulations for public
health. Sample topics include negligence, nuisance, water law,
handling wastes, air quality, zoning and land use, energy and
hydrocarbon development, and climate change. Effectively blending
information on current environmental issues and the legal framework
for dealing with them, Environmental Law and Regulations to Protect
People is designed for undergraduate courses in environmental
issues and environmental law. It is also a useful adjunct to public
health law classes.
