In 1999, fifteen of the original US land-grant universities offered a class on agricultural ethics. In 2012 nine courses were taught. In 2022 only six remained. This chapter offers reasons for the decline in number of classes and suggests consequences if everyone engaged in the agricultural enterprise cannot begin to recognize and address agriculture's ethical dilemmas.
