Environmentalism, Ethical Trade, and Commodification

Meer over het boek

The book examines the diverse perspectives on forest management and the very definition of a forest, highlighting the impact of ethical trade initiatives on sustainability. Using a case study that links Chilean landscapes to Northern consumers via the Forest Services Council, it delves into the knowledge and values that are either highlighted or overlooked in the pursuit of sustainability through market-driven approaches. This exploration raises critical questions about the intersection of ethics, ecology, and commerce in shaping global futures.
