Nature's Matrixby Ivette Perfecto; John Vandermeer; Angus Wright
Earthscan 2009; US$ 34.95Landscapes are frequently seen as fragments of natural habitat surrounded by a "sea" of agriculture. But recent ecological theory shows that the nature of these fragments is not nearly as important for conservation as is the nature of the matrix of agriculture that surrounds them. Local extinctions from conservation fragments are inevitable and must be balanced by migrations if massive extinction is to be avoided. High migration rates only occur in what the authors refer to as "high quality" matrices, which are created by alternative agroecological techniques, as opposed to the industrial monocultural model of agriculture. The authors argue that the only way to promote such high quality matrices is to work with rural social... more...
Sustainable Agroecosystem Managementby Patrick J. Bohlen; Gar House
CRC Press 2009; US$ 99.95Examines the challenges for developing integrated approaches to the management of agricultural ecosystems. Providing historical background of attempts to bridge the ecological and agricultural sciences, this book highlights efforts to integrate natural and social science perspectives. more...
Conserving Agricultureby Ajoy Gangopadhyay
GeneTech Books 2007; US$ 50.00Conservation agriculture refers to a range of soil management practices that minimise effects on composition, structure and natural biodiversity and reduce erosion and degradation. It hold tremendous potential for all sizes of farms and agro-ecological systems, but its adoption is perhaps most urgently required by smallholder farmers, especially those facing acute labour shortages. It is a way to combine profitable agricultural production with environmental concerns and sustainability and it has been proven to work in a variety of agroecological zones and farming systems. The purpose of this book is to show how conserving agriculture can increase crop production while reducing erosion and reversing soil fertility decline, improving rural livelihoods... more...
From the Corn Belt to the Gulfby Joan Iverson Nassauer; Mary V. Santelmann; Donald Scavia
Earthscan 2007; US$ 45.00Nutrients from farms in the Mississippi River Basin are the leading cause of the Gulf of Mexico’s 'Dead Zone,' a 5,000 to 7,000 square mile region where declining oxygen levels are threatening the survival of marine life. From the Corn Belt to the Gulf explores how new agricultural policy can help alleviate this problem, and at the same time improve water quality overall, enhance biodiversity, improve the quality of life for the people who live and work in Corn Belt communities, and relieve downstream flooding. The themes of the book are the far-reaching environmental impacts of Corn Belt agriculture, including associated economic and social effects at multiple spatial scales - and the potential for future agricultural policy to... more...
Commercial Forest Plantations on Saline Landsby Marcia Lambert; John Turner
CSIRO Publishing 2000; US$ 120.00Provides information that will allow users to recover salt-degraded land with selected plantation timbers and ultimately to make a profit. more...
Introduction to Wildlife Conservation in Farmingby Stephen Burchett; Sarah Burchett
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2010; US$ 149.95This book provides an invaluable, comprehensive and practical introduction to conservation issues associated with current farming practice. Representing both industry and conservation as an integrated and holistic system, it explores conservation issues within every farming discipline; from arable and horticulture to grasslands, woodlands, aquatic and coastal farming and will include an assessment of the impact of global warming. The book includes relevant case studies and international, real-world examples, focusing on applied management and not just ecological facts, theories and principles. The carefully structured book begins by introducing the overall subject including some statistics on current farming activities, giving a brief outlook... more...
Food and Environmentby V. Popov; C.A. Brebbia
WIT Press 2011; US$ 220.00The many advances in food production over the past century have made it possible to feed the whole of humanity. But food production and processing can have detrimental effects on the environment. Major challenges remain with industrial-scale farming. Higher productivity and larger volumes should not come at the expense of product quality or animal suffering.Despite their importance, the consequences of food-related problems have not been sufficiently considered. It is essential to understand the impact that food production processes and the demands of rising living standards can have on the food consumed daily by the world’s people. Of particular importance are the effects on human health and the well-being of the population, as well as... more...
