"As I was writing a book on farm animal welfare in 2010 I was able to find ample material on law and policy for the U.S. and western Europe, but very little regarding the rest of the world. I still remain largely ignorant of animal welfare issues in developing countries, and believe a book like International Food Law and Policy is exactly what is needed. The book's multidisciplinary approach and peer reviews will ensure the book touches on all aspects of farm animal welfare, will be understandable to a broad audience, and can be referenced as a scientific publication. This could easily be one of those books that everyone researching farm animal welfare has on their bookshelf. It will certainly be on mine."Prof. F. Bailey NorwoodAssociate Professor, Department of Agricultural Economics, Oklahoma State UniversityCoauthor of Compassion by the Pound “This book on International Food Law will give an accessible and authoritative introduction to the impact of legal instruments on food systems, and will certainly be highly recommended to policy-makers, researchers and other readers interested in the new and promising interdisciplinary field of “food studies”. It will be a must for all interested in a clear understanding of major legal instruments that regulate our complex agrifood chains. The book will give a comprehensive and updated overview of the complex set of legal instruments that impact our right to food, considering its various dimensions (social, cultural, environmental, etc) and illustrated with examples from around the world.”Prof. Juliana Santilli Ph.D.Public Prosecutor in the Federal District of Brazilassociate researcher in Environmental Law and Cultural Heritage Lawthe University of Brasília, Center for Sustainable DevelopmentAuthor of Agrobiodiversity and the Law: regulating genetic resources, food security and cultural diversity. “By synthesizing critical themes concerning food and agriculture from a global perspective, International Food Law & Policy fills an important gap in the legal curriculum. There is no doubt that this publication will transform the academic landscape by providing professors an invaluable toolkit for equipping students with a deep topical understanding that can be practically applied to address the complex problems facing our future food supply.” William S.
