Introduction to Sustainable Agriculture

The connection between the environment and the food we eat is a logical fact that is too often taken for granted and the neglect of which could lead to disastrous consequences. Our youth today are concerned with fragile ecosystems such as clean air, clean water, so critical to all of us. These same concerns and needs are of primary interest in the agricultural community as well. All individuals need to understand the concepts of consistent and sustainable agricultural production and how short-term thinking and dangerous practices can affect the balance of the global ecosystem and our long-term survival. With this book, youth can experience hands-on what gardening and food production techniques are safe and effective while learning about the role they can play as individual consumers and citizens in the global economy.Postance, Jim is the author of 'Introduction to Sustainable Agriculture' with ISBN 9781401810917 and ISBN 1401810918.
