Food, Farming and Religion: Emerging Ethical Perspectives

By Gretel Van Wieren

This book examines how religious traditions and communities in the United States and beyond are responding to critical environmental ethical issues posed by the global food system. In particular, it looks at the responses that have developed within Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions, and shows how they relate to arguments and approaches in the broader study of food and environmental ethics. In doing so, Gretel Van Wieren proposes a model for conceptualizing agricultural and food practices in sacred terms.
