Advancing Food Law and Policy.

The Academy is a nonprofit forum for individuals and institutions engaged in food-law teaching and scholarship. It advances intellectual discourse, strengthens teaching, supports student interest, and promotes the academic field.

What Is Food Law and Policy?

THE FIELD

Food Law & Policy embraces a broad study of laws, regulations, and policies at all levels of government that affect the food we eat. It includes traditional subjects such as food safety and labeling while extending to agricultural policy, food assistance, public health, dietary guidance, farmed-animal welfare, food-worker protections, and global food security.
