Explores the economic value and societal contributions of non-human animals across history and contemporary economies. The volume examines the diverse ecological, agricultural, scientific, social, and economic relationships between humans and animals, highlighting their roles in supporting livelihoods, ecosystem services, food systems, transportation, health, and biodiversity. Through interdisciplinary perspectives, contributors argue for a reassessment of existing economic frameworks to better recognize animal welfare, ecological sustainability, and the interconnectedness of human and non-human life in the pursuit of a more sustainable future.
