Description and Table of Contents
Description
provides a new analysis of population and agricultural growth.
argues that we can't make sense of population and food production without recognizing the drivers of three fundamentally different types of agriculture: Malthusian (expansion), industrialization (external-input-dependent) and intensification (labour-based).
upends entrenched misconceptions such as that we are running out of land for food production and that our only hope is development of new agricultural technologies
written in an engaging style, containing vignettes, short histories and global case studies
will not only be of interest to students and scholars of agriculture, land management and development, but also those more widely interested in learning about agri-food systems and the challenges of feeding a growing population.
