The Ethics of Intensification by Paul B Thompson
Although global food production in 2000 was estimated to be adequate for the existing population, hunger and malnutrition are persistent problems that have led decision makers to recognize that increasing food production in specific regions may be the most effective way to address food se- rity for impoverished peoples.From the reviews:
“The book helpful in the multiple overviews it provided of the major fault lines that exist in mainstream ethical theory… for anyone who requires an accessible survey of recent ethical and political controversies in agriculture. … it is rich enough in detail and theoretical depth that I could also recommend it as a textbook for higher level university courses in fields that deal with such issues in greater detail. … to all those interested in the subject of the philosophy of technology … .” (James B. Gerrie, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Vol. 22, 2009)| SKU | Unavailable |
