In this special issue we will investigate, from the perspective of agricultural ethics (e.g. animal welfare, agricultural and food ethics, environmental ethics etc.) the potential to develop a Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) approach to agriculture, and the limitations to such an enterprise. RRI is an emerging field in the European research and innovation (R&I) policy context that aims to balance economic, socio-cultural and environmental aspects in innovation processes. Because technological innovations can contribute significantly to the solution of societal challenges like climate change or food security, but can also have negative societal consequences, it is assumed that social and ethical aspects should be considered during the R&I process. For this reason, the emerging concept of RRI calls for ethical reflection on the nature, scope and applicability of responsibility and innovation in innovation practices in general, and the way social–ethical issues can be applied and addressed in agriculture.

对生活负责任的创新：农业为农业和食品负责任的创新提供的五个挑战，以及创新伦理的必要性

在本期特刊中，我们将从农业伦理（例如动物福利、农业和食品伦理、环境伦理等）的角度调查开发负责任的研究与创新 (RRI) 农业方法的潜力，以及此类方法的局限性一个企业。RRI 是欧洲研究与创新 (R&I) 政策背景下的一个新兴领域，旨在平衡创新过程中的经济、社会文化和环境方面。由于技术创新可以对解决气候变化或粮食安全等社会挑战做出重大贡献，但也可能产生负面社会后果，因此假设在 R&I 过程中应考虑社会和伦理方面。为此原因，
