The Routledge Handbook of Food Ethics

"The Routledge Handbook of Food Ethics is an important contribution to food ethics and philosophy. The extensive collection of scholarly work provides readers with an extensive introduction to the field and insight into how food impacts the social, technological, and political sphere. I was impressed with how the collection includes a diverse array of voices, hones in on topics of particular importance to the public, and situates these discussions in the larger theoretical literature and public food movements. It is essential reading for researchers in food ethics and is also an invaluable resource for those in related disciplines such as environmental ethics and bioethics. It is also an invaluable resource for educators teaching classes on the subject." - Samantha Noll, Humana.Mente

"The title 'handbook' does not do justice to the fact that this collection of essays deepens current conversations on food ethics, surveying the literature as well as developing original arguments. Chapters not only effectively place popular food writing in conversation with contemporary food studies scholarship, but also draw explicit connections to historical philosophical work. It is an extremely useful resource for the classroom and an instructive guide to all those interested in the topic."Lisa Heldke, Gustavus Adolpho Collage, USA

"This Handbook is an exciting and important intervention to raise concern about the global ethics of food. For the first time, a wide range of perspectives are brought together to establish the importance of situating food in the context of ethics and justice. This is real-world philosophy at its finest." - Sridhar Venkatapuram, King’s College London, UK
