The first is to understand  agriculture as complex physical-biological-human systems. Second is the  economic perspective of understanding tradeoffs and synergies among the  economic, environmental and social dimensions of these systems at farm,  regional and global scales. Third is the understanding of these agricultural  systems as the supply side of one sector of a growing economy, interacting  through markets and policies with other sectors at local, national and global  scales. The first part of the book introduces the concept of sustainability  and develops an analytical framework based on tradeoffs quantified using  impact indicators in the economic, environmental and social domains, linking  this framework to the role of agriculture in economic growth and development.  Next the authors introduce the reader to the sustainability challenges of  major agroecosystems in the developing and industrialized worlds. The  concluding chapter discusses the design and implementation of sustainable  development pathways, through the expression of consumers’ desire for  sustainably produced foods on the demand side of the food system, and through  policies on the supply side such as new more sustainable technologies,  environmental regulation and payments for ecosystem services.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e            \u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-02-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030346010\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-34599-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 208\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561139859596,"sku":"9783030346010","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030346010.jpg?v=1776687595","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030346010","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
