"...developing a more ecological approach to food production is urgent...this text is an exciting introduction to achieving this goal..." - Dr. Eugene Odum, Director Emeritus, Institute of Ecology, University of Georgia "The book could provide a very useful reference for the serious farmer as well as students of the relatively new field." --Ecology Action Newsletter, February 2001
Book Description
Agroecology: Ecological Processes in Sustainable Agriculture provides the theoretical and conceptual framework for the study and analysis of agroecosystems. The author builds upon the understanding of the complex factors of the environment as they affect agricultural crops and animals and examines concepts at a systems level, focusing on interactions and interrelationships on the population, community, and ecosystem levels. Informative case studies demonstrate how ecology can be applied to agriculture and each chapter concludes with questions to ensure a complete understanding of the information.
