Issues in Agricultural Bioethics
Issues in Agricultural Bioethics
Author(s): Edited by T B Mepham, G A Tucker and J WisemanMost debate about the ethical implications of modern biotechnology has centred around medical issues, but public concerns over the impact of agricultural biotechnologies have gathered momentum.
This volume, resulting from the 55th University of Nottingham Easter School in Agricultural and Food Science, provides an invaluable survey of this important new field of enquiry. The book will be of interest to a wide readership, including applied philosophers, sociologists, economists and ecologists, as well as biotechnologists and agricultural and food scientists.
"... a significant synthesis of knowledge ... an important warning bell to call agriculture back from being a branch of the finance and pharmaceutical industries. Read this book and be refreshed by it."
