Abstract

Ethical behavior and unethical behavior can each lead to both good and bad consequences. Ethics is also a discipline sometimes referred to as moral philosophy. This chapter presents the discussion of broad ethical and philosophical issues and focuses on the role of ethics in day-to-day decisions and actions taken by agronomic researchers and research administrators in the practice of research. Most of the ideas presented are relevant to other areas of food and agriculture research as well. In this chapter, the results of developing a clearer conceptual framework for the important ethical decisions with which agronomic researchers are confronted every day are discussed.
