Regulatory Issues in Organic Food Safety in the Asia Pacific

The book addresses the intersection of food organics and the emergence of a new contractualism between producers, distributors, consumers, and nation-states. Additionally, it seeks to cater to the needs of a discerning public concerned about how its own country aims to meet their demands for organic food quality and safety and how they will benefit from integration in the standard-setting processes increasingly occurring regionally and internationally. This edited volume brings together expert scholars and practitioners and draws on their respective insights and experiences in organics, food, and health safety. The book is organized in three parts. Part I outlines specific international perspectives, and Part II reflects upon relevant histories and influences. Finally, Part III examines the organic food regulatory regime of various Asian Pacific jurisdictions.
