Description

This introductory textbook provides an overview of the concepts necessary for an understanding of agricultural and agribusiness law.

The text will help students of land-based industries with little or no legal background to appreciate and identify issues that may require referral or consultation with legal counsel.

This new edition is fully revised and updated, particularly addressing developments in taxation and trade, and includes a new chapter on criminal law, an area of increasing relevance to agriculture. Each concise chapter addresses a different legal issue that those employed in agriculture and agribusiness may face, and both federal law and representative examples of state law are included.

In addition to traditional topics such as contracts, property law, and estate planning, the book also covers more contemporary issues such as organic certification, animal law, genetically engineered crops, and food safety. Agricultural law extends beyond those directly engaged in farming to those in agribusiness who provide services and inputs to farmers, buy farmers’ products, store or transport products, manufacture food products and serve as intermediaries between farmers and consumers.

The book will, therefore, also serve as a reference and a guide for those employed in agribusiness and agriculture.
