Overview

- The first book to link traceability (which is proliferating in food chains) to the ethics of food production, hence ethical traceability
- Uniquely, it approaches the subject from three angles:
- It looks at the philosophical underpinnings of food ethics
- It examines the role of traceability in contemporary food governance
- It investigates the practicalities of applying traceability to production ethics in three important food chains
- Explores the possibilities for using ethical traceability to communicate with consumers, to help them make informed choices
