| Abstract | Environmental policies, from the management of microbes to the management of wolves, demonstrate that natural resources policy can either overlook or ignore important relationships between humans and nonhumans. This is, in part, because the regulatory science and sociology of expertise that inform policymaking can exacerbate a preconceived separation between humans and other beings. This article begins by exploring the limits and inadequacies of current agricultural policy through an analysis of the antimicrobial politics of food safety, from the creation of organic compost to artisanal cheeses. Next, it considers the shortcomings of natural resources policy in light of another set of emerging human-nonhuman relationships: the reemergence of wolves in Wisconsin. These case studies are useful for rethinking how policymaking should focus more on relationships between people and nature and less on individual human agency and exclusive, separate elements such as an endangered species or pathenogenic microbes. Lastly, this article concludes by describing possible natural resources policy attributes conducive to building and creating new relationships of stewardship and sustainability. |
