European agriculture is on the brink of a financial and ecological
crisis. The European Community, individual governments, and the
industry itself have precipitated this crisis. Controversy follows
controversy -- in the areas of pollution, use of chemicals, land
degradation, and overproduction. "The Diversion of Land" assesses
the conservation challenge at the end of a long period of
agricultural expansion. The book draws on the experience of
continental Europe and North America to contextualize a case study
analysis of the U.K. Incorporating new research and a new
methodology for the targeting of land diversion, the emphasis
throughout is on the agricultural adjustment process. This process,
the authors argue, must be informed not only by an ecological
awareness, but also by the anticipation of economic and social
change.
