First published in 1998, this book provides a broad but in-depth
description of the issues, concepts, methods of analysis, and
empirical results related to the sustainable development of
agriculture and rural communities. Specifically, it examines the
relationships between sustainability and individual topics such as
technology, information, population, gender, land use, community,
and public policy. A unique aspect of this book is that the topics
addressed have not previously been explored together in one
publication. With sustainability as the common link, data and
evidence are presented and then interpreted in light of individual
perspective and experience, in the process advancing our knowledge
of this important field. The book comprises of 12 chapters written
by prominent authors who come from government and non-government
organizations as well as from various academic institutions and
disciplines. This book is ideal for a seminar course. It is
particularly intended for students in production agriculture, rural
sociology, economics and public policy, environmental sciences,
geography and land use planning, and other social sciences. Its
rich insights make it a useful source of information for policy
makers. It can also be used as a reference by professional
economists and other researchers interested in issues relating to
sustainable agricultural and rural development. While the coverage
of some topics is, by necessity, more technical, the book is
compiled with a general audience in mind. Thus, it should be of
interest to anyone concerned with agriculture, natural resources
and rural issues, particularly as they relate to the future of
agriculture and of rural communities.
