ELSEVIER Encyclopedia Of Agriculture And Food Systems 2Nd Edition 5 Vol Set by Dr Neal K Van Alfen
Encyclopedia of Agriculture and Food Systems, Second Edition addresses important issues by examining topics of global agriculture and food systems that are key to understanding the challenges we face. Questions it addresses include:
Will we be able to produce enough food to meet the increasing dietary needs and wants of the additional two billion people expected to inhabit our planet by 2050?
Will we be able to meet the need for so much more food while simultaneously reducing adverse environmental effects of today's agriculture practices?
Will we be able to produce the additional food using less land and water than we use now?
