Food, Environment, and Climate Change Summary

Food, Environment, and Climate Change: Justice at the Intersections by Erinn Gilson

This volume takes up the pressing issues of justice and responsibility that arise at the intersection of food and agricultural systems, environmental degradation, and global climate change. The diverse contributions examine both the various ways that food and agricultural practices contribute to environmental degradation, especially climate change, and the impact that climate change is having and will have on food and agricultural practices. Central questions include:

  • How can the connections between food and agriculture, environmental issues, and climate change best be understood?
  • What are the ethical and political responsibilities of various parties in relation to this nexus of problems?
  • Whose knowledge, concerns, and voices are, and should be, valued in making global climate policy and agricultural and food policy?
  • What are the limitations of existing policies, practices, and theoretical frameworks for understanding and responding to these complex problems?

Food, Environment, and Climate Change Reviews

This timely and important collection of essays addresses connections between food and agriculture, the environment, and climate change. The essays interrogate the policies and practices that support and sustain the dominant model of food production, offer theoretical analyses of injustices in the global food system, and critique prevailing models of responsibility for change. Food, Environment, and Climate Change is essential reading for anyone interested in food and agriculture. -- Jill M. Dieterle, Professor of Philosophy, Eastern Michigan University
An important and go-to collection in the rapidly growing field of food and agricultural ethics. -- Mark Budolfson, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, University of Vermont
This volume provides a critical analysis of food and agriculture's impact on the environment and climate change from a justice framework. Each chapter forces us to reconcile how our personal, societal, or legal decisions from farm to table (or landfill) impacts current disparities globally and alter future generations' ability to feed themselves. -- Samantha Mosier, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, East Carolina University
