Descripción
Sumario:"As globalization restructures agriculture and rural communities, the impacts of increasingly industrialized farming have captured public attention. Concerns are mounting about food quality, manure runoff, greenhouse gases, extra-label use of antibiotics, pesticides, and rural conflict. Intensive Agriculture and Sustainability outlines the advantages of farming systems analysis for understanding the implications of modern, intensive agriculture and for evaluating its sustainability." "The magnitude and complexity of the problems posed by modern, intensive agriculture make interdisciplinary analyses of the linkages among the social, environmental, and economic aspects of farming ever more vital. This book moves the discussion in new directions and will appeal to field practitioners, agricultural and environmental policy analysts, geographers, and to those scholars and students weary of the production-oriented disciplinary focus that typifies most agricultural research."--Jacket
