Bringing together an array of esteemed scholars, this insightful book considers how Islamic ethics influences responses to the pressing challenge of global sustainable food security.
Food Security and Islamic Ethics explores three overarching areas: the world response to the challenge of sustainable food security; the Islamic perspective on addressing food security issues; and concerns for the most vulnerable groups facing this crisis, including women, children, migrants and the displaced. Chapters present in-depth case studies from locations across the globe, including Africa, Asia and North America. Ultimately, the book addresses how Islamic ethics can and does inform policy and practice in order to secure adequate food and nutrition for populations in the Muslim world and Muslims in non-Muslim countries.
This incisive book is a crucial resource for students and academics concerned with ethics and Islam, development studies, agricultural economics and food security, sociology and anthropology. Infusing case studies with practical applications, it is also useful for think tank and NGO policymakers, alongside professionals specialising in food security in efforts to meet the second Sustainable Development Goal: zero hunger.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This book skillfully integrates Islamic ethics with pressing global challenges, providing innovative insights into food security, sustainability, and social justice. By bridging traditional teachings with modern goals, it explores the intersections of religion, ethics, and development. Highlighting Islamic principles, gender equality, and charitable roles, it is essential for scholars, policymakers, and development practitioners.' -- Umar Ryad, KU Leuven, Belgium 'This is a superb and timely book exploring food security and Islamic ethics via three perspectives: the world response to the challenge of sustainable food security, the Islamic perspective in addressing food security concerns, and the most vulnerable groups who face this issue. Distinguished scholars carefully engage with the most up-to-date debates on these issues, raising a loud voice in favor of a more ethical response on how to deal with food.' -- Sari Hanafi, American University of Beirut, Lebanon
