This book addresses the evolving crisis in agriculture and sketches
the 'community economy' that grounds agricultural enterprise more
accurately than the industrial model. In its current practice,
agriculture is (in the United States but increasingly in the rest
of the world) unsustainable and destructive. The most immediately
unsustainable feature of industrial agriculture is its dependence
on the products of petroleum-as feedstock for fertilizers,
herbicides, and pesticides, and as fuel for the farm machinery and
transport of agricultural products into the cities. The problems of
agriculture and in general the food systems to which it is attached
range from the vulnerability of monocultures to new and stronger
pests to the emerging medical problem of obesity. The need for
agricultural reform is widely acknowledged; one part of the new
work being done suggests that food production in the cities may
solve several of its problems at once. This book is suitable for
both undergraduate and graduate students in agriculture and
environmental studies.
