Normative Issues in Global Environmental Governance: Connecting Climate Change, Water and Forests

Joyeeta Gupta

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2015 > 28 > 3 > 413-433

Glocal (global to local) environmental governance lags behind the science regarding the seriousness of the combined environmental and developmental challenges. Governance regimes have developed differently in different issue areas and are often inconsistent and contradictory; furthermore governance innovations in each area lead to new challenges. The combined effect of issue-based, plural, and fragmented...

Certification Standards for Aquaculture Products: Bringing Together the Values of Producers and Consumers in Globalised Organic Food Markets

Stefan Bergleiter, Simon Meisch

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2015 > 28 > 3 > 553-569

From a certifier’s perspective (Naturland e.V.), this paper deals with the question of how to bring together the values of producers and consumers in globalized food markets. It is argued that growth and mainstreaming of organic food production cannot be achieved solely by ethically aware consumers signalling their more sustainable purchase decision to the market. In fact, the intrinsic motivation...

Fish Consumption: Choices in the Intersection of Public Concern, Fish Welfare, Food Security, Human Health and Climate Change

Helena Röcklinsberg

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2015 > 28 > 3 > 533-551

Future global food insecurity due to growing population as well as changing consumption demands and population growth is sometimes suggested to be met by increase in aquaculture production. This raises a range of ethical issues, seldom discussed together: fish welfare, food security, human health, climate change and environment, and public concern and legislation, which could preferably be seen as...

Willed Blindness: A Discussion of Our Moral Shortcomings in Relation to Animals

Mickey Gjerris

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2015 > 28 > 3 > 517-532

This article describes how we seem to live in a willed blindness towards the effects that our meat production and consumption have on animals, the environment and the climate. A willed blindness that cannot be explained by either lack of knowledge or scientific uncertainty. The blindness enables us to see ourselves as moral beings although our lack of reaction to the effects of our actions tells another...

Towards an Integration of the Ecological Space Paradigm and the Capabilities Approach

Wouter Peeters, Jo Dirix, Sigrid Sterckx

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2015 > 28 > 3 > 479-496

In order to develop a model of equitable and sustainable distribution, this paper advocates integrating the ecological space paradigm and the capabilities approach. As the currency of distribution, this account proposes a hybrid of capabilities and ecological space. Although the goal of distributive justice should be to secure and promote people’s capabilities now and in the future, doing so requires...

Challenging Food Governance Models: Analyzing the Food Citizen and the Emerging Food Constitutionalism from an EU Perspective

L. Escajedo San-Epifanio

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2015 > 28 > 3 > 435-454

Critical analyses of current food systems underline the need to respond to important challenges in questions of nutritional health, environmental sustainability, socio-economic development and protection of the cultural wealth. A wide range of perspectives and methodologies were used to carry out those analyses yielding a significant variety of proposals to undertake the challenges. In most of those...

Reasoning Claims for More Sustainable Food Consumption: A Capabilities Perspective

Lieske Voget-Kleschin

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2015 > 28 > 3 > 455-477

This paper examines how employing the capabilities approach in conceptualizing sustainable development allows reasoning and specifying claims for more sustainable lifestyles. In doing so, it focuses on the example of food consumption because it constitutes an ‘(un)sustainability hotspot’ as well as a paradigmatic example for the tensions between individual lifestyles on the one hand and societal consequences...

Taking Responsibility for Cloning: Discourses of Care and Knowledge in Biotechnological Approaches to Nonhuman Life

Jessica L. W. Carey

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2015 > 28 > 3 > 589-599

This article examines the practice of animal cloning in relation to discourses of care and responsibility, in particular a common cultural interpretation of care theorized by Michel Foucault. This interpretation figures care as a “pastoral” relation premised in essential differences between carers and objects of care, and its interspecies implications are increasingly drawing the attention of theorists...

Elisabeth Gebhard, Nikolas Hagemann, Loni Hensler, Steffen Schweizer, more

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2015 > 28 > 3 > 497-516

Today’s food production and consumption go hand in hand with immense damages to humans and nature. Change is needed, but where to start and which direction to go? This article tries to give an interdisciplinary answer by taking recourse to a vision, that is, an ideal image of the future which is drawn upon ethical reflection and beyond the limits of actual political and economic constraints. The main...

Trustworthiness and Responsible Research and Innovation: The Case of the Bio-Economy

Lotte Asveld, Jurgen Ganzevles, Patricia Osseweijer

Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics > 2015 > 28 > 3 > 571-588

The approach of responsible research and innovation (RRI) has been proposed to support the introduction of technologies that touch upon socially sensitive issues. RRI is intended to help designers and manufacturers of new technologies identify and accommodate public concerns when developing a new technology by engaging with a wide range of relevant actors in an interactive, transparent process. However...
