International Food Law and Policy is the first interdisciplinary piece of academic literature of its kind with a comprehensive, reader-friendly approach to teaching the major aspects of food regulation, law, policy, food safety and environmental sustainability in a global context. The sections are grouped by continents and focus on a range of cross-disciplinary subjects, such as public health, international food trade, the right to food, intellectual property and global regulatory aspects of food production. With its systematic approach, this book will be a valuable resource both for professionals working in food regulation and anyone interested in the subject. It provides a solid foundation for courses and master's programs in environmental management, food law, policy and regulation, and sustainable development around the world.
Gabriela Steier and Kiran K. Patel are attorneys from diverse backgrounds and focused on promoting academic excellence in the broad field of global food safety law. Steier and Patel founded Food Law International (FLI), the first interdisciplinary legal institution of its kind with a comprehensive approach to teach the intricacies of the various aspects of international food law and policy. FLI's goal is to further interdisciplinary legal education toward a more environmentally sustainable, healthy, and ethical food production around the world.

"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."

"This book on International Food Law will give an accessible and auth
oritative 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.

"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."
