Committee On The Role Of Alternative Farming Methods In Modern Production Agriculture. ALTERNATIVE AGRICULTURE. Washington D. C.: National Academy Press, c. 1989.
Full-color-photo-illustrated cover is about the weight of posterboard. PAPER COVERS. Glossary. Index. Numerous tables and figures. BUSINESS / AGRICULTURE. This report examines the scientific and economic viability of alternative systems that can help farmers and policymakers achieve these three goals: (1) keeping US farm exports competitive; (2) cutting production costs; and (3) reducing the environmental consequences of farming. This book describes the dimensions of US agriculture in the domestic and world economies and its evolution since WW II; it outlines some of the economic and environmental consequences of agricultural practices and federal government policies; it examines the basic science supporting farming practices widely used in alternative agriculture; it analyzes the economic potential of alternative systems. The report concludes with 11 case studies describing 14 farms managed with an efficient combination of alternative and conventional practices. ; 9-7/8 x 6-7/8"; 448 pages. 0309039851.
