Issue of “The Canadian Journal of Development Studies (CJDS)”
This
call for articles addresses the question of “decision-making” in agriculture
and food from the perspective of “dilemmas.” This multifaceted (technical, political,
and ethical) issue is seldom addressed directly and is often referred to using
various terms (alternatives, arbitrations, choices, disputes, etc.). Crises are
particularly subject to dilemmas due to the pressing need to take action but
also due to increased societal expectations.
