Product Specifications
Book Description
Modern agriculture must seek to feed the world's growing population with little
or no cost to the Environment. Modern agriculture is capable of producing
greater yields than ever before, but intensification of agriculture does come at
a price. This comprehensive volume examines the environmental impact made by
agriculture in the 21st Century, looking forward to the future with the lessons
of the past. Key chapters include impacts of agriculture upon soil quality,
greenhouse gas budgets, water-borne pathogens, surface water chemistry,
groundwater, agricultural pesticides and the environment, balancing the
environmental consequences of agriculture with the needs for food security and
positive and negative aspects of agricultural production of biofuels.
