"The Farm as Natural Habitat" is a vital new contribution to the
debate about agriculture and its impacts on the land. Arising from
the conviction that the agricultural landscape as a whole could be
restored to a healthy diversity, the book challenges the notion
that the dominant agricultural landscape -- bereft of its original
vegetation and wildlife and despoiled by chemical runoff -- is
inevitable if we are to feed ourselves. Contributors bring together
insights and practices from the fields of conservation biology,
sustainable agriculture, and environmental restoration to link
agriculture and biodiversity, farming and nature, in celebrating a
unique alternative to conventional agriculture.Rejecting the idea
that "ecological sacrifice zones" are a necessary part of feeding a
hungry world, the book offers compelling examples of an alternative
agriculture that can produce not only healthful food, but fully
functioning ecosystems and abundant populations of native species.
Contributors include Collin Bode, George Boody, Brian DeVore,
Arthur (Tex) Hawkins, Buddy Huffaker, Rhonda Janke, Richard
Jefferson, Nick Jordan, Cheryl Miller, Heather Robertson, Carol
Shennan, Judith Soule, Beth Waterhouse, and others."The Farm as
Natural Habitat" is both hopeful and visionary, grounded in real
examples, and guided by a commitment to healthy land and thriving
communities. It is the first book to offer a viable approach to
addressing the challenges of protecting and restoring biodiversity
on private agricultural land and is essential reading for anyone
concerned with issues of land or biodiversity conservation, farming
and agriculture, ecological restoration, or the health of rural
communities andlandscapes.
