ISBN: 9781903582206 - famine (12 Ergebnisse)

Self-sufficiency in food production as a desirable goal is discussed, as is the way tropical soils become infertile when converted to agricultural use. The contributors conclude that solutions can be found to this seemingly intractable dilemma, but progress depends on a willingness to cross the boundaries of traditional academic disciplines.…
