Distinct practices of eating are at the heart of many of the world’s
faiths —from the Christian Eucharist to Muslim
fasting during Ramadan to the vegetarianism of Hinduism and Buddhism. In this wide-ranging collection,
eminent scholars, theologians, activists, and farmers illuminate how
religious beliefs influence and are influenced by the values and
practices of sustainable agriculture. They analyze a multitude
of agricultural practices for their contributions to healthy, ethical
living and environmental justice. Throughout, the contributors address
current critical issues, including global trade agreements, indigenous
rights to land and seed, and the effects of postcolonialism on farming
and industry. Covering indigenous, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Muslim,
and Jewish perspectives,this groundbreaking volume makes a significant contribution to the study of ethics and agriculture.
