This book was first published in 2006. Despite many
well-intentioned policies and changes to management practices, the
world's natural resources continue to decline. The roles and
interplay between science and policy in the regional broadacre
agriculture landscape are examined here, offering readers a
thorough understanding of the complex interactions that occur
across spatial scales to produce the regional-scale impacts. The
fundamental causes of resource degradation, social decline and
environmental pollution are addressed, examining the cross-scale
drivers from the individual farm level to the global level of
commodity systems. Broadacre agriculture is a common land use
throughout all continents of the world and is driven by the same
type of dynamics, and this case study of the Western Australia
agricultural region can be used to clearly demonstrate the
principles for other agricultural systems. Aimed at academics,
ranging from researchers through to policy analysts, this book will
inspire innovation and action in sustainable natural resource
management.
