Taylor & Francis Ltd The Sociology of Food and Agriculture
Book SynopsisThoroughly revised and updated, the third edition of The Sociology of Food and Agriculture provides a cutting-edge, comprehensive introduction to the study of food and society. The book begins by examining the food economy, with chapters focusing on foodscapes, the financialization of food, and a new chapter dedicated to food and nutrition (in)security. In Part II, the book addresses community and culture. While some books only look at the interrelationships between food and culture, this section problematizes the food system from the standpoint of marginalized bodies. It contains chapters focusing on agricultural and food labor and the peasantries, topics which are often overlooked, and gender, ethnicity, and poverty. Part III examines food and the environment, with chapters addressing important topics such as agro-ecosystems, food justice, sustainable food, and agriculture and food sovereignty. The final part focuses on food futures and includes a brand-new chTable of Contents1 Introduction to a complex and ever-changing field; PART I The multi-scalar food economy 2 Understanding foodscapes: past, present, and future; 3 Food and nutrition (in)security; 4 Financialization of food; PART II Community, culture, and knowledge 5 Community, labor, and peasantries; 6 Food and culture; 7 Gender, ethnicity, and poverty; PART III Food justice and the environment 8 Agro-ecosystems and the nature of “natures”; 9 Food, agriculture, and the environment; 10 Food sovereignty – beyond food security; PART IV Agrifood futures: solutions, trade-offs, and opportunities 11 Sustainable diets and ethical consumption; 12 The “traps” in agrifood studies ... and beyond; 13 Reimagining healthy eating

Taylor & Francis Ltd Farm Animal Welfare Law
Book SynopsisThis book introduces the various aspects of international farm animal protection and wildlife conservation through the lenses of food safety and environmental protection law. Bite-sized chapters focus on a wide range of topics from agrobiodiversity, fishing, and aquaculture to pollinators and pesticides, soil management, industrial animal production, and transportation, as well as international food trade.Animal welfare and biodiversity conservation sit at the core of the selected chapters, each one providing real-world examples to make the complex field easy to understand. Current developments including food safety modernization, blockchain, and COVID-19 considerations are addressed head-on.Farm Animal Welfare Law provides a primer for law school courses and masters' programs, for practitioners, advocates, and animal enthusiasts alike. Through its emphasis on sustainable food production, this book offers a cutting-edge selection of evolving topics at the hearTrade Review"Not so long ago, one needed to integrate several separate spheres of concern simply to invent "environmental law." This book goes further by expertly crossing several divides to give unity to the spheres that concern our growing problems of food, including flora and fauna, wild and farmed, international and domestic, social and material. The result is well worth the reading. The old adage that "you are what you eat" was often looked upon as referring to the materiality of food. By observing the social and economic costs of food, as well as legal attempts to address those costs, this book adds essential and significant dimensions to the adage. Editor Gabriela Steier continues to develop agroecology and remind readers in an urbanized world that if we are what we eat, then we face some enormous problems in what we are and what we will become. In addition to our increasing reliance upon food from the oceans, simply reading the labels in a grocery store will make obvious why food and animal welfare problems test the ramifications of globalization and require the comparative (Brazil, China, Europe, India and the USA) and international law approaches of this book. Each author writes from study and personal experience in government, industry, research or activism, making the chapters thoughtful, persuasive, provocative, and often, quite alarming for anyone who eats."Kirk W.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Women in Field Biology
Book SynopsisWomen are contributing to disciplines once the sole domain of men. Field biology has been no different. The history of women field biologists, embedded in a history largely made and recorded by men, has never been written. Compilations of biographies have been assembled, but the narrativetheir storyhas never been told. In part, this is because many expressed their passion for nature as writers, artists, collectors, and educators during eras when women were excluded from the male-centric world of natural history and science. The history of women field biologists is intertwined with men's changing views of female intellect and with increasing educational opportunities available to women. Given the preponderance of today's professional female ecologists, animal behaviorists, systematists, conservation biologists, wildlife biologists, restoration ecologists, and natural historians, it is time to tell this storythe challenges and hardships they faced and still face, and the prominent rolTable of ContentsPreamble Section 1: Historical Perspective Chapter 1: Introduction Origins: Europe Origins: North America Chapter 2: Pre-1880 (Late Age of Discovery)EuropeNorth America Chapter 3: 1880 to 1916 (Gilded Age)Chapter 4: 1917 to 1945 (War and Interwar Years) The Chicago plant ecologists The Chicago animal ecologists The Nebraska/Minnesota plant ecologists The Wisconsin limnologists The Cornell legacy Elsewhere in the United States Chapter 5: 1945 to 1972 (Postwar Years)Chapter 6: 1972 to Present (Civil Rights Era)Section 2: Current Perspectives 8.
