Synopsis

Agriculture represents the most fundamental relationship that exists between society and the physical environment. It is also one of the most significant ways in which society has brought about environmental change. This volume begins by defining the complex nature of agriculture in the context of both environmental constraints and social stimuli. Attention is then given to centres of plant and animal domestication and the subsequent spread of agricultural systems worldwide. The environmental impact of agriculture in low/middle and high latitudes is discussed, covering both developed and developing countries. Finally, new developments in agriculture, such as biotechnology, genetic engineering, the possible impact of global warming and the potentialities for developing sustainable agriculture are investigated.
