Agriculture's Ethical Horizon (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Agriculture's Ethical Horizon: Third Edition covers the changing environment in which practitioners of agriculture are challenged to produce food for the world. Fully revised and updated, the book encourages discussions on the moral questions that agriculture faces, including what goals should agricultural science pursue and how should practitioners address important ethical questions which are different and more complex than the dominating questions of production? The book presents the story of agriculture from the blood, sweat and tears era, to the present genetic era, including the paradox of agriculture.

This book is ideal for agricultural students, practitioners and anyone who would like to understand the tremendous responsibility of agricultural production. It presents a foundation for the important discussions and decisions that will be necessary to support the future of agriculture.

• Presents critical-thinking considerations based on extensive, real-world experience
• Challenges all those interested in food production to more fully explore agricultural systems
• Fully revised and updated to include current and emerging challenges and their potential future impacts on the world's food supply
