If you& #39;re coming here from the @alcurrents webinar, here is a very incomplete reading list off the top of my head re: animal ag, zoonoses, labor: (1/x)

On zoonoses risk:
Mike Davis - The Monster at Our Door
Rob Wallace - Big Famrs Make Big Flu
Jones et al. - Zoonosis emergence linked to agricultural intensification and environmental change
for long history see Josh Berson - The Meat Question (2/x)

On labor & meat:
Upton Sinclair - The Jungle (obviously!)
Roger Horowitz - Negro and White, Unite and Fight
Tim Pachirat - Every 12 Seconds
Vanessa Ribas - On the Line
Alex Blanchette - Porkopolis (3/x)

On alt. protein:
An article that really influence my thinking about this is Hopkins & Dacey& #39;s "Vegetarian Meat: Could Technology Save Animals and Satisfy Meat Eaters?"
See also Schaefer and Suvalescu "The Ethics of Producing In Vitro Meat" (4/x)
