Religion and Sustainable Agriculture
World Spiritual Traditions and Food Ethics
Foreword by Vandana Shiva, Contributions by Todd LeVasseur, Yigal Deutscher, Leonor Hurtado, Eston Pembamoyo, Michael Lemons, Jagannath Adhikari, Pankaj Jain, A. Whitney Sanford, Mark H. Dixon, Ragan Sutterfield, Maximilian Abouleish-Boes, Tristan Reader, Terrol Johnson, Anna Peterson and Raymond F. Person
In this wide-ranging collection, eminent scholars, theologians, activists, and lay farmers illuminate how religious beliefs influence and are influenced by the values and practices of sustainable agriculture. Together, they analyze a multitude of agricultural practices for their contributions to healthy, ethical living and environmental justice. Throughout, the contributors address current critical issues, including global trade agreements, indigenous rights to land and seed, and the effects of postcolonialism on farming and industry. Covering indigenous, Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, and Jewish perspectives, this groundbreaking volume makes a significant contribution to the study of ethics and agriculture.

Reviews
"Religion and Sustainable Agriculture [. . .] succeeds as an enlightening treatise on ethical agriculture. As Pramod Parajuli eloquently argues in the book's conclusion, blending spirituality back into food production will enable greater community and environmental health around the globe."—Foreword Reviews
"The unique and vibrant operationalizations of sustainable agriculture are brought to light in Religion and Sustainable Agriculture. This book provides a typology of sustainable cultivation in the spirit of worship across the globe in multiple temporal and cultural settings. The publication takes the reader around the world and back again, traveling from the continental United States to Guatemala, Peru, Malawi, Hawaii, Nepal, India, Thailand, Israel, El Salvador, Egypt, and Europe.
[The book is] written for a wide audience with a compelling foreword, lively introduction, and an all-encompassing conclusion sandwiching fifteen chapters, all with authors that tell a distinct tale regarding spiritual traditions and the food system."—Agriculture and Human Values
