No Farms No Food? A Response To Baylen Linnekin, Joshua Ulan Galperin
No Farms No Food? A Response To Baylen Linnekin, Joshua Ulan Galperin
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article makes the case for food security law and policy as a component of global environmental law in recognition of the global economy, trade liberalization, and concerns for food safety and environmental harm. It further describes rule of law as a significant force in mitigating food safety concerns and pollution in China.

Part IV shows how increased rule …
