Get the latest sustainable agriculture practices and keep an eye on
the future Developing and Extending Sustainable Agriculture: A New
Social Contract explores the challenges faced by today's farmers
and ranchers to provide practical strategies to develop a
twenty-first century system of sustainable agriculture that is
economically sound, environmentally compatible, and socially
acceptable. This comprehensive look at the current state of farming
and ranching presents leading authorities discussing concepts and
approaches in sustainable agriculture such as crop rotations,
integrated pest management, alternative sources of nutrients to
maintain productivity, and rotational grazing systems. Presently
there is a trend toward a more industrial agriculture and a global
food system that will bring long-term negative impacts. If farmers
look thoughtfully toward the future, alternatives are now available
to help solve these problems to provide agricultural sustainability
for generations to come. Developing and Extending Sustainable
Agriculture: A New Social Contract provides a model for integrated
research and outreach to everyone interested in sustainable
development. A sensible framework of practical short-term
strategies are combined with visionary long-term plans to provide
viable approaches to sustain agriculture, secure our food system,
and develop a more equitable society for the future. The text
includes several tables and figures, extensive references, and
comprehensive bibliographies. Topics in Developing and Extending
Sustainable Agriculture: A New Social Contract include: the
evolution of the concept of equitable and sustainable development
on-farm research farmer to farmer education IPM (integrated pest
management) soil management managed grazing whole-farm planning,
including economic analysis training for sustainable agriculture
motivation theory and research to foster positive sustainable
development organic farming productivity the future of sustainable

Agriculture: A New Social Contract is enlightening,
horizon-expanding reading perfect for educators, students,
government decision makers, cooperative extension educators,
specialists, administrators, citizen members of county extension
boards, and administrators in land grant universities.
Recommended by The Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Dame Sara
Thornton, in her 2020 report on “The Modern Slavery Act 2015
Statutory Defence: A call for evidence” "Rarely can the talent of
so many practitioners be accessed in one convenient resource."
Crimeline Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Law and Practice,
Second Edition provides guidance to those who deal directly or
indirectly with those affected by modern slavery and trafficking,
employ or manage a workforce, or have oversight of supply chains.
It enables practitioners to deal with issues of law and procedure
by providing an accessible, but comprehensive, summary of the
points that need to be considered in order to plan a coherent
litigation or compliance strategy. This Second Edition focuses on
areas which have become of critical importance such as: - The
modern slavery defence - Corporate accountability and modern
slavery compliance statements - National Referral Mechanism for
victims - How to identify victims of trafficking and modern slavery
- How to elicit key information from victims of trafficking and
modern slavery - Council of Europe Convention on Action against
Trafficking in Human Beings - The EU Anti-trafficking Directive
This highly accessible guide draws on the expertise and experience
of professionals in different disciplines, so that practitioners
can receive guidance for their own practice and an understanding of
the inter-relationship with other practice areas. Criminal,
immigration, commercial and civil lawyers will find this an
essential guide. It is also important for businesses when
undertaking human rights due diligence assessments, as well as for
those who work in law enforcement, the judiciary and academia.
