Interactions Between Agroecosystems and Rural Communities (Advances in Agroecology)
by Cornelia Flora
Book Description
There is an increasing realization among biophysical scientists that human behavior drastically impacts the degree to which sound agroecosystems are implemented. Written by an international team of experts assembled by a leading rural sociologist, Interactions Between Agroecosystems and Rural Communities shows how human behavior impacts agroecosystems both positively and negatively and provides an understanding of alternative ways of working with human communities to increase agroecosystem sustainability. Through a general overview and a series of case studies, this text demonstrates how changes in the economy influence what local people can do to sustain agroecosystems. It also addresses specific community-based actions located in both temperate and tropical zones in Europe, North America, Asia, Central America, and Latin America that have resulted in more sustainable agroecosystems. With 30 diagrams and illustrations, this volume enables the reader to understand fully the impact of exogenous forces on agroecosystems.
A text exploring how human behavior impacts agroecosystems, providing the reader with an understanding of how human communities can work to increase agroecosystem sustainability. Combines a social science perspective, an analysis of agroecosystems, and case studies of agricultural impacts on communities. DLC: Agricultural ecology.
