Farm Animal Welfare Law by Gabriela Steier – Edition 2023

This book explains the law and policy of farm animal welfare and agricultural wildlife, i.e. how animals and wildlife are affected by the food system, in accessible language and concise digestible chapters. Every chapter provides real-world examples to make the complex field easy to understand. It offers an academic view of the ‘big picture’. Emphasizes sustainable food production and offers a cutting-edge selection of evolving topics at the heart of the pertinent discourse i.e., food safety modernization, block chain, and Covid-19 considerations. Aside from a 900pp text ‘International Farm Animal, Wildlife and Food Safety Law’ edited by the author, no other competitive texts exist. The new book will provide opportunities for courses to base syllabi. Ideal reading for postgraduate students. Farm animal welfare courses are taught at the Vermont Law School in an LLM and Master’s program, in the UK Animal Welfare Science, Ethics and Law (AWSEL) is taught at University of Winchester and Edinburgh University. Northeastern University offers various food regulatory courses that focus on animals and international trade.
