What are the legal challenges to ensuring that food innovation promotes sustainability, protects fundamental rights, and strengthens global food security? Food Innovation and Legal Challenges offers a rigorous, interdisciplinary examination of emerging technologies, innovative production methods, and evolving governance models in the agrifood sector. Covering topics from insect-based proteins and cultured meat to Agriculture 4.0, vertical farming, biotechnology, and innovative policies addressing food waste and food poverty, the volume brings together research from scholars with expertise in constitutional, international, EU, comparative, food, and agricultural law. Combining doctrinal analysis with comparative and empirical perspectives, it delivers concrete recommendations and original insights for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners.
