This introductory textbook provides an overview of the concepts necessary for an understanding of agricultural and agribusiness law. The text will help students of land-based industries with little or no legal background to appreciate and identify issues which may require referral or consultation with legal counsel. Each concise chapter addresses a different legal issue that those employed in agriculture and agribusiness may face, and both federal law and representative examples of state law are included. In addition to traditional topics such as contracts, property law and estate planning, the book also covers more contemporary issues such as organic certification, animal law, genetically engineered crops and food safety. Agricultural law extends beyond those directly engaged in farming to those in agribusiness who provide services and inputs to farmers, buy farmers’ products, store or transport products, manufacture food products, and serve as intermediaries between farmers and consumers. The book will therefore also serve as a reference and a guide for those employed in agribusiness as well as agriculture.

This book focuses on the social and environmental issues being addressed by agricultural law within the current globalised system. What is agricultural law? Agricultural regulations concern and affect essential human needs and values that must be dealt with by pursuing a comprehensive and coordinated global approach. By tracking the developments in this context, this book explores the new challenges that agricultural law needs to address in order to frame emerging dilemmas. International governance of natural resources and their role in addressing food insecurity is the object of the first Part of the volume, which deals with sustainable agriculture and agro-ecosystem services in connection with the food security issue. The second Part focuses on the regulation of food as the main product of agricultural activity, and explores the answers that the law can provide in order to accommodate consumers’ interests and concerns (inter alia, novel foods, animal welfare, direct sales and e-commerce). The third Part examines the social, environmental and legal consequences of a renewed interest in agricultural investments. Further, it analyses the evolution and the interplay between different legal systems with regard to land tenure, environmental concerns and investments in agriculture.

"When the first edition of Agricultural Law was published in 1981, it immediately set the standard for the field. Now in a new edition, the book includes new coverage of such areas as bankruptcy, government regulations, and environmental laws, as well as offering even more information on the federal regulatory and farm programs. The strong focus on environmental concerns reflects the latest state of affairs in the field, as do the completely updated case materials." "The cases, relevant to the issues discussed within the book, also help the reader to focus on today's directions and trends in agricultural law. In some, the facts provide a basis for illustration of law in action. In others, the court's opinion includes a useful description of particular legal principles and how they are applied. Between the book's discussion and the presentation of cases a "hybrid" is formed, thus providing the reader with both a casebook and a treatise."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
