This timely Handbook synthesizes and analyzes key issues and
concerns relating to the impact of agriculture on both farmers and
non-farmers. With a unique focus on humans rather than animals or
the environment, the book is interdisciplinary and international in
scope, with contributions from sociologists, economists,
anthropologists and geographers providing case studies and examples
from all six populated continents. Looking at the pervasive impact
of agriculture, the Handbook explores all aspects of the production
of food and fiber within the agrifood value chain, including:
farmers and laborers growing crops and raising livestock,
businesses supplying inputs for these operations, and processors
transforming plants and animals into intermediate and finished
food, beverage and clothing products. Separated into four parts, it
analyzes how the agrifood industry affects farmer well-being; the
application of science and technology within an agricultural
context; the ways in which agriculture affects the well-being of
smallholder farmers, especially in developing countries; and
agriculture's impact more broadly on society. This will be a
beneficial read for economics and sociology students, particularly
those looking at the impacts of agriculture. Accessible and clear,
the Handbook will also be helpful for policymakers and agricultural
NGOs wanting a more in-depth understanding of the impact of
agriculture on human life.
