The world's food supply needs to rise significantly, yet both
arable and water supplies per capita are decreasing. Not only are
modern agricultural methods beyond the reach of those suffering the
greatest food insecurity but they are also ecologically damaging,
relying upon fossil energy and chemical inputs. This volume offers
a collection of innovative and diverse approaches to agricultural
development. Documented in 12 case studies, these approaches are
reliant upon greater knowledge, skill and labour input, rather than
larger capital expenditure. They are shown to increase yield
substantially, sometimes doubling or tripling output. This volume
presents the concepts and operational means for reorienting
agricultural efforts towards these more environmentally friendly
and socially desirable approaches in the developed as well as
developing world.
