Is the food and  water we consume safe? Will we run out of natural resources such as  land, fuel or water? Is the current use of agrochemicals necessary or  dangerous? Is intensive farming sustainable or would organic farming  be better? How can we help developing countries? Is food aid a good  thing or not? How far should the genetic manipulation of plants and  animals be allowed to go? This important book will appeal to all  concerned with such issues, including all those studying and teaching  agricultural and environmental sciences, research scientists, policy  makers, and libraries, it is written in language that non-specialists  can understand.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780412715204\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 312\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312305426572,"sku":"9780412715204","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780412715204.jpg?v=1771523819","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780412715204","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
