Description

Food, Farming, and Sustainability: Readings in Agricultural Law 3rd Edition Susan A. Schneider ISBN 9781531031992

Food, Farming, and Sustainability offers a comprehensive survey of the complex and interconnected body of laws governing agriculture, framed within society’s growing need for a sustainable, resilient, and equitable food system. Historically, agriculture has received distinctive legal treatment through exemptions, exceptions, and specialized rules reflecting the unique nature of agricultural production. This book critically examines that “agricultural exceptionalism,” tracing its origins and evaluating its consequences for modern food production, rural communities, and environmental stewardship.

The third edition substantially updates every chapter to reflect the rapidly evolving agricultural landscape. It incorporates the most recent U.S. agricultural census data, analyzes newly enacted policies, and explores the profound and increasing effects of climate change on food production and supply chains. New and expanded coverage includes regenerative agriculture, competition and antitrust in food markets, and a heightened focus on food policy and governance.

Maintaining its interdisciplinary approach, the book integrates legal doctrine, policy analysis, and contemporary case studies, drawing on current events to illuminate the difficult trade-offs involved in balancing social, political, economic, and environmental priorities. From its opening exploration of industrial-scale agriculture and legal exceptionalism to its forward-looking discussion of the future of food systems, Food, Farming, and Sustainability is designed to engage students and provoke critical, informed discussion about the laws shaping how food is produced and consumed.
