Ernährung wird heute vor allem unter ernährungstechnischen, medizinisch-gesundheitlichen oder weltanschaulichen Aspekten (z.B. Vegetarianismus, Veganismus usw.) diskutiert. Obwohl die Nahrungsmittelindustrie einen der wichtigsten Märkte darstellt, werden Fragen der Nahrungsmittelproduktion, der Landwirtschaft, des Nahrungsmittelhandels und der Biodiversität meist unter nationalen Vorzeichen diskutiert. Nicht nur auf Produzentenseite, sondern auch aus der Sicht der Konsumenten sind die Nahrungsmittelmärkte – obwohl immer noch national strukturiert – mehr und mehr zu globalen Märkten geworden, was sich etwa in der Entwicklung der Nahrungsmittelrohstoffpreise zeigt. Dazu kommt, dass große Nahrungsmittelkonzerne die Strategie verfolgen, die gesamten Wertschöpfungsketten im Landwirtschafts- und Nahrungsmittelbereich zu vereinheitlichen – wohlgemerkt unter ihrer Kontrolle. Das Buch thematisiert ökonomische Fragen zur Nahrungsmittelproduktion, zur Landwirtschaft, zum Handel mit Nahrungsmitteln und zur Biodiversität. Dabei werden Alternativen zur traditionellen Landwirtschaft, zur Massentierhaltung, zum Verlust an biologischer Vielfalt diskutiert – und aus wirtschaftlicher Sicht reflektiert. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf Aspekten der Globalisierung. Der Inhalt Ernährung Nahrungsmittelmärkte Landwirtschaft Fleischindustrie und Fischerei Agrarhandel Biodiversität und Biolandbau Alternativen Der Autor Christian J. Jäggi, Dr. phil. Ethnologe, exec. Master of Non Profit Management und Theologe, arbeitet und forscht zu Fragen der Ökonomie, Migration und Ethik. Er unterrichtet an verschiedenen Fachhochschulen und ist Geschäftsleiter des gemeinnützigen Vereins Inter-Active in Meggen/Schweiz.

Food is a means of life. The way it is produced affects us all. Largely unnoticed by the public, a system of the agricultural and food industry has developed in recent decades that supplies us with an abundance of food at excessively low prices. However, the undesirable side effects and external costs of this system have long been ignored. Enormous environmental and climate impacts, loss of biodiversity, animal welfare problems and the continuing death of farms only inadequately describe the true extent of the harmful effects. In the interests of the public welfare, these can no longer be tolerated. However, the complexity of the issues and the diversity of vested interests stand in the way of simple solutions. This professional book provides a comprehensive systemic analysis from very different perspectives and explains how this development has come about. It shows what fundamental changes are needed in all areas in order to find a way out of the destructive pursuit of cost minimisation through evidence-based quality production. Professionals in the agricultural and food industry and the scientific disciplines involved, including veterinary medicine, as well as decision-makers in political institutions, professional associations and NGOs can use this knowledge to redesign the food sector for the future. The author Prof. Dr. Albert Sundrum grew up on a farm and learned early on about the problems of agricultural practice. The search for improvements eventually led him to the University of Kassel, Department of Organic Agricultural Sciences, after studying veterinary medicine. There he heads the Department of Animal Nutrition and Animal Health and conducts research into, among other things, ways of improving animal health and welfare and environmental protection and the quality of animal sourced food in the production process. From 2002 to 2012, he was a member of the Scientific Advisory Board "Agricultural Policy" at the Federal Ministry of Agriculture in Germany. .

This volume is an update to Weed Science- A Plea for Thought-Revisited published by Springer in 2012. More than a decade after the first edition, ethical discussion on the use of pesticides for weed management is largely absent. Startingly, weed science and agriculture have continued on the same path and are still dominated by capital chemical and energy intensive practices, including the paralysis of pesticides. This second edition expands upon the first, using recent data to confirm the dominance of herbicides. The revision includes chapters which emphasize the role of ethics in agriculture and the reasons it should, but has not yet become part of agricultural education. This includes suggestions on how education in agricultural ethics should be shifting and whose responsibility it is. The revised version also includes a discussion on the role of genetically modified crops and the consequences of using these crops-both positive and negative. Scientists have developed a wealth of knowledge they bring to the surface of their disciplinary silos. Yet there needs to be greater discussion on the necessity and risks of agricultural science and technology. This revised version provides a rigorous examination of weed science’s goals and ethics and challenges the way we manage weeds and agriculture.

This book contains a collection of selected papers from the 2017 Farm-to-Plate: Uniting for a Just and Sustainable Food System conference in Ithaca, New York, which explored what different advocates, stakeholders, growers, and community members today prioritize when it comes to justice, action, and transformation in the agri-food system. The research presented at this symposium shows the diverse range of approaches scientists have taken to investigate this aforementioned question. The papers represent a combined effort to creatively educate, share, and connect work being done by stakeholders on food system transformation. Previously published in Agriculture and Human Values Volume 36, issue 4, December 2019.

"This innovative, richly synthetic, and field-extending study explores literary narratives—in particular, works of science fiction and speculative fiction—that envision farmed animals as agential participants in multispecies futures. Drawing on research in literary animal studies, narrative theory, anthropology, philosophy, and other domains, the author maps out textual engagements with postanimality, whereby nonhuman animals caught up in the exploitative dynamics of industrialized meat production become inextricably interlinked with humans as well as (bio)technologies. Through detailed, state-of-the-art analyses of storytelling practices by a range of writers—from Margaret Atwood and Laura Jean McKay to Deb Olin Unferth and Adam Roberts—Literature and Livestock compellingly reframes narrative as a space of possibility in which disvalued and elided animal lives can be imagined otherwise." —David Herman, author of Narratology beyond the Human: Storytelling and Animal Life This book explores the past and current traces that cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals used by humans have left in Anglophone literary fiction. In times of accelerated global warming, an acute pandemic, and breakthroughs in bioengineering practices, discussions on how to rethink the relationships to these animals have become as heated as perhaps never before. Livestock and Literature examines what literature has to contribute to these debates. In particular, it draws on counter-narratives to so-called livestock animals’ commodification in selected science- and speculative fiction (SF) works from the twenty-first century. These texts imagine ‘what if’ scenarios where “livestock” practice resistance, transform into biotechnologically modified, postanimal beings, or live in close companionship to humans. Via these three points of access, the study delineates the formal and thematic strategies SF authors apply to challenge anthropocentric and speciesist thought patterns. The aim is to shed light on how these alternative storyworlds expand readers’ understanding of the lives of farmed animals; seeking insight into how literature shapes human-animal relationships beyond the page. Liza B. Bauer is Interim Scientific Manager of the Panel on Planetary Thinking and co-speaker of the interdisciplinary research section on Human-Animal Studies at the Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany. .
