Diritto al cibo e tutela giuridica della diversità. La libertà religiosa alimentare alla prova del benessere animale

Legal reflection on the relationship between food, religion and animal dignity is part of the broad and multifaceted field where food law, the protection of religious freedom and the need to ensure animal welfare converge, calling for a specific delimitation of the analytical path to be taken. The volume, which analyses food pluralism in light of the recognition and protection of the right to food and religious freedom, has a twofold purpose: to identify the dense web of relationships that intertwines food and religion, as well as the peculiarities and role of dietary prescriptions in religious practices; to identify the problematic issues emerging from the comparison with the legal protection of diversity in the management of certain structures in the contemporary public space, with the specific aim of highlighting the thorny question of the possible reconciliation between the protection of religious freedom and the defence of animal welfare in relation to ritual slaughter.
