Distinct practices of eating are at the heart of many of the
world's faith traditions -- from the Christian Eucharist to Muslim
customs of fasting during Ramadan to the vegetarianism and
asceticism practiced by some followers of Hinduism and Buddhism.
What we eat, how we eat, and whom we eat with can express our core
values and religious devotion more clearly than verbal piety. In
this wide-ranging collection, eminent scholars, theologians,
activists, and lay farmers illuminate how religious beliefs
influence and are influenced by the values and practices of
sustainable agriculture. Together, they analyze a multitude of
agricultural practices for their contributions to healthy, ethical
living and environmental justice. Throughout, the contributors
address current critical issues, including global trade agreements,
indigenous rights to land and seed, and the effects of
postcolonialism on farming and industry. Covering indigenous,
Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish perspectives, this
groundbreaking volume makes a significant contribution to the study
of ethics and agriculture.
