Based on an EU workshop at the end of 2005, the book discusses
risk and our food supply. The introductory chapter will discuss all
aspects of risk and how it applies to food, from risk
classification to risk management. Following a discussion of risk,
the authors will present three different case studies that will
emphasize the following issues:
What do we want as individuals, as a society
What is the political context of the risk discussion
When do we act and what are the costs of not acting/acting
International trade and legal issues
Moral dimensions of decision making
How do we deal with the disproportionate "power" of the various
stakeholders
Rationality/emotive aspects of argumentation (connection between
perception /live experiences, knowledge)
What are facts- and do they change with time
Psychological aspects: rapture of trust; the need for certainty;
connection between danger, fear and risk
