Originally published in 1994, this book examines the importance of
family agricultural systems in both the developed and the
developing worlds. Throughout the world, and throughout history,
the family unit has been at the heart of agricultural systems.
Working together, families not only furnish their own needs, but
form the basis for society itself: they provide the labour,
population, resources and the market to maintain much of the
world’s economic and social development. But the global race for
financial prosperity, with its large-scale intensive farming
techniques, is increasingly undermining the family’s role in food
production and social cohesion. This book explores both traditional
and modern farming techniques and looks at their different
consequences for national agricultural resources and for rural
societies. Finally, it suggests ways in which technology can be
harnessed to meet the needs of the family rather than undermine it,
in order to achieve a viable and sustainable agriculture for the
future.
