Legal scholars are paying increasing attention to agricultural issues. Nevertheless, the field largely remains an underresearched area of law and is considered historically as a specific area of research for life sciences and economics. The number and scope of questions that revolve around agricultural issues are increasingly requiring the legal research community to adopt a new approach. Challenges, such as the governance of the food system worldwide, the maintenance of agricultural natural resources, as well as land governance, are making it necessary to address agri-food and agri-environmental issues with a globalized approach. Against this background, the book aims to address some of the complexities of the agri-food and agrienvironmental regimes. The Introduction traces the evolution of agricultural law and provides an overview of the new social and environmental challenges that will need to be addressed. Emerging issues are placed in the broader conceptual context of a global perspective. The chapters are grouped into three main parts, each of which has its own brief introduction.
