The New Food Activism
"New and exciting forms of food activism are emerging as supporters of sustainable agriculture increasingly recognize the need for a broader, more strategic and more politicized food politics that engages with questions of social, racial, and economic justice. This book highlights examples of campaigns to restrict industrial agriculture's use of pesticides and other harmful technologies, struggles to improve the pay and conditions of workers throughout the food system, and alternative projects that seek to de-emphasize notions of individualism and private ownership. Grounded in over a decade of scholarly critique of food activism, this volume seeks to answer the question of "what next," inspiring scholars, students, and activists toward collective, cooperative, and oppositional struggles for change."--Provided by publisher.
L'éthique du hamburger. Penser l'agriculture et l'alimentation au XXIe siècle
Clin d’œil amusant tout autant qu’éclairant, c’est en fonction des ingrédients de base du hamburger qu’a été structuré l’ouvrage. Petit pain, viande, fromage et condiments. Car, qu’il s’agisse du hamburger traditionnel ou de ses variantes contemporaines, l’aliment n’est pas neutre. Porteur de visions de l’agriculture et de l’alimentation qui coexistent en tension au sein de nos sociétés et qui sous-tendent plusieurs débats, le hamburger possède une puissance évocatrice qui l’associe à plusieurs des enjeux éthiques qui parsèment le parcours menant un produit agricole de la ferme à la table, que celui-ci soit végétal ou animal. Partant de cette image du hamburger, les auteurs mettent en relief quelques-uns des principaux enjeux éthiques du domaine de l’agriculture et de l’alimentation. Le domaine bioalimentaire recèle en effet une grande richesse pour la réflexion éthique, se situant au confluent d’une multiplicité d’aspects de la vie en société qui posent désormais des défis.

Designer Animals
Designer Animals is an in-depth study of the debates surrounding the development of animal biotechnology, which is quickly emerging out of the laboratory and into the commercial marketplace. This book innovatively combines expert analysis on the technology's economic, professional, ethical, and religious implications while remaining firmly grounded in the 'real world' political environment in which the issue is played out. Designer Animals uses non-technical language to explore the science behind animal biotechnology and the ethical frameworks at play in its surrounding debates. By investigating the interests of major stakeholders, including researchers on the cutting edge of science; mainstream and 'alternative' agriculture organizations; the animal welfare movement; and health care providers, patients, and researchers, the contributors illuminate the most important points of agreement and disagreement on this hotly contested topic.
Pet Politics
Although scholars in the disciplines of law, psychology, philosophy, and sociology have published a considerable number of prescriptive, normative, and theoretical studies of animals in society, Pet Politics presents the first study of the development of companion animal or pet law and policy in Canada and the United States by political scientists. The authors examine how people and governments classify three species of pets or companion animals-cats, dogs, and horses-for various degrees of legal protection. They then detail how interest groups shape the agenda for companion animal legislation and regulation, and the legislative and administrative formulation of anticruelty, kennel licensing...
