Get the latest sustainable agriculture practices and keep an eye on
the future Developing and Extending Sustainable Agriculture: A New
Social Contract explores the challenges faced by today's farmers
and ranchers to provide practical strategies to develop a
twenty-first century system of sustainable agriculture that is
economically sound, environmentally compatible, and socially
acceptable. This comprehensive look at the current state of farming
and ranching presents leading authorities discussing concepts and
approaches in sustainable agriculture such as crop rotations,
integrated pest management, alternative sources of nutrients to
maintain productivity, and rotational grazing systems. Presently
there is a trend toward a more industrial agriculture and a global
food system that will bring long-term negative impacts. If farmers
look thoughtfully toward the future, alternatives are now available
to help solve these problems to provide agricultural sustainability
for generations to come. Developing and Extending Sustainable
Agriculture: A New Social Contract provides a model for integrated
research and outreach to everyone interested in sustainable
development. A sensible framework of practical short-term
strategies are combined with visionary long-term plans to provide
viable approaches to sustain agriculture, secure our food system,
and develop a more equitable society for the future. The text
includes several tables and figures, extensive references, and
comprehensive bibliographies. Topics in Developing and Extending
