Book excerpt: From Seed to Stomach: Food and Agriculture LawOn January 21, 2011, the Northeastern University Law Journal hosted a symposium at Northeastern University entitled From Seed to Stomach: Food and Agricultural Law. The distinguished panels of attorneys, policy-makers, and legal scholars discussed the ethical and health consequences surrounding intellectual property in the food industries, including the patenting of seeds, farming methods, and live animals. They also addressed legislating food safety, litigating obesity claims, and implementing food policy. Specifically, they explored food labeling, including organic certification, and marketing unhealthy food to children. The Journal published the following articles and notes derived from the symposium in the spring of 2012.Articles:- Pastures of Peonage: Tracing the Feedback Loop of Food Through IP, GMOs, Trade, Immigration, and U.S. Agro-Maquilas by Keith Aoki, John Shuford, Esmeralda Soria, and Emilio Camacho- An Evolutionary Approach to Agricultural Biotechnology: Litigation Challenges to the Regulatory and Common Law Regimes for Genetically Engineered Plants by A.
