This book explains the law and policy of farm animal welfare and
agricultural wildlife, i.e. how animals and wildlife are affected
by the food system, in accessible language and concise digestible
chapters. Every chapter provides real-world examples to make the
complex field easy to understand. It offers an academic view of the
'big picture'. Emphasizes sustainable food production and offers a
cutting-edge selection of evolving topics at the heart of the
pertinent discourse i.e., food safety modernization, block chain,
and Covid-19 considerations. Aside from a 900pp text 'International
Farm Animal, Wildlife and Food Safety Law' edited by the author, no
other competitive texts exist. The new book will provide
opportunities for courses to base syllabi. Ideal reading for
postgraduate students. Farm animal welfare courses are taught at
the Vermont Law School in an LLM and Master’s program, in the UK
Animal Welfare Science, Ethics and Law (AWSEL) is taught at
University of Winchester and Edinburgh University. Northeastern
University offers various food regulatory courses that focus on
animals and international trade. It will also function as a
practical handbook for practitioners in animal law and farm animal
welfare policy.

Chapters written by foremost international experts in their fields
Editors' notes written for classroom use and background information
Figures and tables providing illustrations of important concepts
Case studies delivering practicality and in-depth analysis to
current events A special chapter on Covid-19 and its implications
for the food system
Agrobiodiversity and agroecology go hand-in-hand in promoting
environmental resilience in international food systems as well as
climate change resilient food policy. This book contextualizes how
various legal frameworks address agrobiodiversity and agroecology
around the globe and makes it accessible for audiences of students,
practitioners, educators, and scholars. Some chapters focus on the
legal regulation of agroecology from a food law perspective. Others
are geared toward providing regulators, lawmakers and attorneys
with the scientific and policy background of those concepts, so
that they are equipped in the field of food law in everyday
practice and policy. Climate change dimensions of the issues are
woven throughout the book.

Key features: Presents summaries of key points after each chapter
and includes color graphs to visualize the big-picture concepts
Demonstrates how urban rooftop farms (URFs) can contribute to city
greening and climate change mitigation worldwide while providing
fresh locally-sourced produce for growing urban populations
Provides cutting-edge ideas from the the emerging field of food law
and places international and comparative legal concepts into an
accessible context for non-lawyers Examines major disputes
surrounding food products that have been brought before the World
Trade Organization (WTO) to illustrate how trade trends have pushed
toward GMO proliferation Uses examples of food labeling, pollinator
protection, pesticide permitting, invasive species control, and GMO
regulatory policy in the US and the EU to illustrate various
methods of bringing public law to the forefront in the struggle
toward achieving food integrity The proliferation of Genetically
Modified Organisms (GMOs) in our increasingly globalized food
system is trivializing the inherent risks to a sustainable world.
Responding to the realities of climate change, urbanization, and a
GMO-dominated industrialized food system, Gabriela Steier's seminal
work addresses the interrelationship of these cutting-edge topics
within a scholarly, legal context. In Advancing Food Integrity: GMO
Regulation, Agroecology, and Urban Agriculture, Steier defines food
integrity as the optimal measure of environmental sustainability
and climate change resilience combined with food safety, security,
and sovereignty for the farm-to-fork production and distribution of
any food product. The book starts with a discussion of the food
system and explores whether private law has sufficiently protected
food or whether public law control is needed to safeguard food
integrity. It proceeds to show how the proliferation of GMOs
creates food insecurity by denying people's access to food through
food system centralization. Steier discusses how current industrial
agricultural policy downplays the dangers of GMO monocultures to
crop diversity and biodiversity, thereby weakening food production
systems. Striving to promote agroecology by providing a fresh and
compelling narrative of interdisciplinary questions, Steier
explores how farming can be geared toward more sustainable and
environmentally friendly practices worldwide in the future. This
book belongs in the libraries of all those interested in food law,
environmental law, agroecology, sustainable agriculture, and urban
living practices.
This volume is an inspiring and breakthrough piece of academic
scholarship and the first of its kind featuring a comprehensive
reader-friendly approach to teach the intricacies of the various
aspects of international farm animal, wildlife conservation, food
safety and environmental protection law. The selected focus areas
are grouped in sections, such as agrobiodiversity, fishing and
aquaculture, pollinators and pesticides, soil management,
industrial animal production and transportation, and international
food trade. Farm animal welfare, environmental protection,
biodiversity conservation, and food safety are the core of the
selected chapters. Every chapter provides real-world examples to
make the complex field easy to understand. With its systematic
approach, this book is devoted to anyone interested in the subject,
becomes a valuable resource for professionals working in food
regulation, and provides a solid foundation for courses and
master's programs in animal law, environmental policy, food and
agriculture law, and regulation of these subjects around the world.
Through its emphasis on sustainable food production, this work
offers a cutting-edge selection of evolving topics at the heart of
the pertinent discourse. As one of its highlights, this books also
provides "Tools for Change," a unique compilation and analysis of
laws from the major farm animal product trading nations. With these
tools, practitioners, advocates, policy makers and other
state-holders are equipped with information to start work toward
improving farm animal welfare, wildlife conservation, and food
safety through the use of law and policy.
