First published in 1999, this volume explores the environmental
change which is an increasingly serious problem for Third World
countries, and one that has a major impact on the health and
livelihoods of the world's poor. In light of economic
liberalization and increased agricultural trade, it thus becomes
crucial to understand the varied impact of markets on environment
and development. This book provides a new understanding of the
relationship between crop markets, agricultural practice and
sustainable development. Both theoretical argument an detailed case
studies from the South Indian State of Kerala are used to
demonstrate the way in which these factors interrelate and how
market-induced changes affect human well-being and environmental
sustainability. In conclusion, Veron suggests that appropriate
regulation of markets and consumer pressure - rather than either
'free' trade or withdrawal from markets - have the potential to
direct agricultural producers to apply more sustainable practices.
