Not only are modern agricultural methods beyond the reach of those suffering the greatest food insecurity but they are also ecologically damaging, relying upon fossil energy and chemical inputs. This volume offers a collection of innovative and diverse approaches to agricultural development. Documented in 12 case studies, these approaches are reliant upon greater knowledge, skill and labour input, rather than larger capital expenditure. They are shown to increase yield substantially, sometimes doubling or tripling output. This volume presents the concepts and operational means for reorienting agricultural efforts towards these more environmentally friendly and socially desirable approaches in the developed as well as developing world. 606 $aAgricultural ecology 606 $aAgricultural innovations 606 $aAgricultural productivity 615 0$aAgricultural ecology. 615 0$aAgricultural innovations. 615 0$aAgricultural productivity. 676 $a338.1/6 701 $aUphoff$b Norman Thomas$082724 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955007703321 996 $aAgroecological innovations$94498915 997 $aUNINA
