Food, Law & The Environment: Informational And Structural Changes For A Sustainable Food System, Jason J. Czarnezki

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This Article considers legal, theoretical, and practical steps to a more sustainable food model. Part I discusses the underlying reasons for problems in the current food system, including those manifested in law, and the perceived benefits of creating a new agricultural paradigm. Part II discusses the major agricultural and food programs that have become more common in shaping a different food system model, specifically focusing on direct marketing (for example, farmers markets and community-supported agriculture) and the organic movement as it relates to small farmers. Part III argues that in order to change modern American food consumption, two changes must …

Small, Slow, And Local: Essays On Building A More Sustainable And Local Food System, Mary Jane Angelo, Amelia Timbers, Matthew J. Walker, Joshua B. Donabedian, Devon Van Noble, Erik Phillips-Nania, Emily Parish, Jennifer L. Perez

UF Law Faculty Publications

A collection of essays that have strong arguments in favor of shifting from our existing centralized industrial agricultural system to a more localized system. This shift will reduce reliance on fossils fuels, which are used to make pesticide and fertilizer inputs and to transport foods long distances, thereby reducing contributions to climate change and decreasing environmental impacts. The shift will also provide social and economic benefits to local communities, improved health and a more sustainable, secure, and resilient food supply. To achieve such a shift, however, it will be necessary to overcome existing legal, economic, and social barriers and to …

Splitting Scales: Conflicting National And Regional Attempts To Manage Commercial Aquaculture In The Exclusive Economic Zone, Brandee Ketchum

Journal of Food Law & Policy

Like other environmental resources subject to public use, various interest groups struggle over joint management of scarce fisheries resources. Further, differing goals for resource management, such as financial goals versus conservation goals, frequently pit regional groups against one another. In some cases, regional interests may conflict with overall national interests. As goes the water and the air, so go the fish.

Bundling Public And Private Goods: The Market For Sustainable Organics, Margot J. Pollans

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Modern agriculture has vast environmental externalities. The pesticides, fertilizers, and sediments in irrigation runoff pollute surface and groundwater; single-crop farms destroy biodiversity; and massive amounts of fossil fuels are burned in agricultural production, post-harvest processing, and shipping. Nevertheless, farming operations have largely escaped the post-1970 expansion of federal environmental regulation. Compounding the problem, federal farm policy has encouraged the very farming practices that most cause this degradation.

In 1990, Congress passed the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA), which created an organic food certification and labeling system. While OFPA's primary purposes are to facilitate the growth of the organic sector and …

Publicity, Pressure, And Environmental Legislation: The Untold Story Of Availability Campaigns, Molly J. Walker Wilson, Megan P. Fuchs

Cardozo Law Review

The availability heuristic - a cognitive rule of thumb whereby events that are easily brought to mind are judged to be more likely - is employed by decision-makers on a daily basis. Availability campaigns occur when individuals and groups strategically exploit this cognitive tendency in order to generate publicity for a particular issue, creating pressure to effect legislative change. This paper is the first to argue that environmental availability campaigns are more beneficial than they are harmful. Because they result in pressure on Congress, these campaigns serve as a catalyst for the enactment of critical new legislative initiatives. Specifically, these …
