Climate change is a major framing condition for sustainable
development of agriculture and food. Global food production is a
major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and at the
same time it is among the sectors worst affected by climate change.
This book brings together a multidisciplinary group of authors
exploring the ethical dimensions of climate change and food.
Conceptual clarifications provide a necessary basis for putting
sustainable development into practice. Adaptation and mitigation
demand altering both agricultural and consumption practices.
Intensive vs. extensive production is reassessed with regard to
animal welfare, efficiency and environmental implications. Property
rights play an ever-increasing role, as do shifting land-use
practices, agro-energy, biotechnology, food policy to green
consumerism. And, last but not least, tools are suggested for
teaching agricultural and food ethics. Notwithstanding the
plurality of ethical analyses and their outcome, it becomes
apparent that governance of agri-food is faced by new needs and new
approaches of bringing in the value dimension much more explicitly.
This book is intended to serve as a stimulating collection that
will contribute to the debate and reflection on the sustainable
future of agriculture and food production in the face of global
change.
