ABSTRACT
This chapter explores a view of food justice that includes a concern for both human and non-human sustenance, while recognizing the right to food at the individual level for humans and at the species level for non-humans. It offers this view in the spirit of a post-humanist philosophy which does not put the human species ahead of other species, yet also envisions individual human consciousness as a special experience worthy of special consideration. Agriculture is the cornerstone of human society and advancement. The share of malnourished people fell significantly between 1960 and 1990. The environmental legacy of the Green Revolution is tenuous, as there are have been consequences from the energy- and land-intensive agricultural management practices, the policy atmosphere that fostered imprudent use of inputs, as well as cropping system expansion in areas unsuitable for intensification. The modern food system favors conventional, commercial scale agriculture by way of policy, research, and economic structures.
