Ethical Plan

Go to the Ethical Matrix (http://www.ethicalmatrix.net/) that provides "exercises in how to apply ethics to issues in animal farming, including an interactive web-based exercise".

This matrix was developed by Ben Mepham who edited the book Food Ethics and wrote Biothics. People are free to develop or reinterpret it at will. It is a tool for ethical deliberation, and does not prescribe an outcome. It helps people arrive at, and justify to others, their ethical reasons for reaching a judgement.

For example, I have added another 'interest group' - one of several in the producers' food chain, which include retailers, suppliers, growers, managers and workers. I have chosen 'workers' (in both developed and less developed countries) to show how we can apply ethical principles to workers' concerns.. Why don't you make a suggestion for the matrix? Assess the 'wellbeing', 'autonomy' and 'fairness' for other interest groups in the food chain... eg consumers - rich, poor, young, old, fit, sick etc.

And then enter your suggestion in this page. You will need to register - takes 30secs, to set up an account. Then, write in your suggestion and we can all see who did it.
