Abstract: There are competing values and understandings of how animal agriculture relates to a host of common and social goods including contributions to global warming. These competing understandings and values can sometimes generate ethical problems where some values are violated at the expense of other values. Consequently, in many contexts, these problems call for resolution (e.g., attempts to mitigate the effects of animal agriculture on global warming). There are many possible interventions to help resolve these ethical problems including prohibitions, incentives, persuasion, and education. Each of these interventions tend to have their own ethical costs and benefits. We discuss a framework for how these different interventions influence psychological elements in psychological decision making processes. Given this framework, we pay special attention to some of the ethics that are involved in how those interventions influence these psychological factors. We provide some dimensions on which one could make comparisons of different interventions with how they fair with aspects of beneficence and autonomy.
