About the Book

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.



This insightful Research Agenda assesses the ways in which agricultural law can be reshaped to promote a more secure and sustainable food system. Contributions tackle recent challenges such as food price crises, the Ukraine War and tariff barriers on food products, as well as more chronic sources of concern for the industry, such as climate change and the effect of diet on health.



Surveying the latest research in agriculture, international experts examine the shifting boundaries of food sovereignty, ways of regulating new technologies (with focus on cultivated meat and gene-editing) and the role of the consumer. These pertinent topics are supplemented by detailed analyses of future sustainability initiatives, extending from instances of food waste mismanagement on farms to solutions for improved water infrastructure. The book ultimately illustrates that, in order to ensure a successful future for agricultural law, it is necessary for legislators to operate across traditional boundaries and embrace the complexity generated by numerous interlocking legal issues.



Scholars and students of agricultural and environmental law will benefit greatly from the foundational ideas and practical solutions supplied throughout this Research Agenda. It also provides informed, actionable insights for policymakers and specialist practitioners seeking to develop their knowledge in this field.

Review :
‘This Research Agenda presents an exceptional examination of current challenges in agricultural law relating to food security and food sustainability. Expertly developed by leading specialists, it calls for a reorientation of agricultural policies and legal frameworks – a call that should certainly be heeded.’ ‘Agriculture is the largest employer on the planet. Often type-cast and patronised as an “old” economic sector, it is actually dynamic and in the forefront of 21st century challenges. It is barely conceivable to think of the future without encountering tricky legal problems rooted in the land. Think climate, meat consumption, genetics, patents, agrichemicals, plants, food and population health. The law is drawn in to almost everything that stems from or affects the land and food use. It is both foundational and at the forefront of socio-economic and cultural change. This volume is so timely in bringing a wise international group of academics to scope what is already here and what lies ahead for agricultural law and research.’
