{"product_id":"9780857857071","title":"Food and Animal Welfare","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawing together the latest research and a range of case studies, Henry Buller and Emma Roe guide readers on a fascinating jourbaney through animal welfare issues 'from farm to fork'. Animal welfare offers a vital lens through which to explore the economies, culture and politics of food. This is the first text to provide a much-needed overview of this strongly debated area of the food industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuller and Roe explore how animal welfare is defined, advocated, assessed and implemented by farmers, veterinarians, distributors, and consumers. From the practicalities and limitations of establishing a basic standard of care for livestock, to the ethics of selling welfare as a product in the supermarket, this indispensable book offers empirical insights into a key aspect of the global food system: the lives, deaths, and consumption of animals which are at the core of the food chain. It is a must-read for students and scholars of animal welfare, agro-food studies and human-animal relations in disciplines such as geography, politics, anthropology, and sociology as well as animal behaviour, psychology and veterinary science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012289708272,"sku":"9780857857071","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780857857071_p0.jpg?v=1769912139","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780857857071","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
