Alternative Farming

Alternative agriculture emphasizes management practices that take advantage of natural processes, improve the match between cropping patterns and agronomic practices on the one hand and the productive potential and physical characteristics of the land on the other, and make selective use of commercial fertilizer and pesticides to ensure production efficiency and conservation of soil, water, energy, and biological resources. This book analyzes current agricultural issues, and proposes alternative solutions, to build safe agriculture, energy and food systems for future generations.
