Legal And Policy Issues For A Growing Agritourism Industry, Peggy Kirk Hall, Jesse J. Richardson Jr., Kristine Tidgren

Law Faculty Scholarship

Agritourism activity has increased dramatically over the past 10 years, both in number of operations and income. The types of agritourism activity have also expanded rapidly in recent years. The law, on the other hand, moves slowly. The disconnect between the pace ofchange in the industry and the legal regime creates uncertainty for operators, regulators, and policy makers. The difficulty in defining the rapidly changing industry lies at the center of much of the uncertainty.

Food, Freedom, Fairness, And The Family Farm, Robin Rotman, Sophie Mendelson Jan 2023

Food, Freedom, Fairness, And The Family Farm, Robin Rotman, Sophie Mendelson

West Virginia Law Review

The concept of the “family farm” holds powerful sway within the American narrative, embodying both nostalgia for an imagined past and anxiety for a future perceived to be under threat. Since the founding of the United States, this cultural ideal has been invoked in support of a rosy vision of agrarian democracy while obscuring the ways in which the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s codified definition of “family farm” has unfairly aggregated advantages for the benefit of a particular kind of family (nuclear) and farmer (white, male, straight).

Does Regulation Chill Democratic Deliberation? The Case Of Gmos, Alison Peck Jan 2013

Does Regulation Chill Democratic Deliberation? The Case Of Gmos, Alison Peck

Law Faculty Scholarship

Breakthroughs in science and technology pose a challenge to the U.S. legal system: either regulate under pre-existing laws using a business-as-usual approach, or pass new laws to deal with new relationships and conflicts created by these breakthroughs. How does the legal process determine when to regulate and when to legislate? Does that process adequately ensure deliberative democratic debate and implementation of democratic consensus? Does it adequately protect urgent interests in the meantime? Currently, this determination is ongoing with regard to new scientific developments such as climate change science, and new technological developments such as hydraulic fracturing of unconventional natural gas …
