内容説明

The present system of agricultural production in Australia is causing severe environmental degradation. Until now, issues of soil depletion, resource management, the application of new technologies to farming and the development of sustainable practices have been assessed in bio-physical terms. The fundamental insight of this book is that the environmental problems of rural Australia are overwelmingly social in origin. This volume deals with the social dimensions of agriculture and the environment of Australia, and critically examines the landcare and sustainability. By the author of "Capitalism and the Countryside: The Rural Crisis in Australia".
