Agricultural Science: Topics and Modern Agriculture

This is a unique text that examines the benefits of modern-day agriculture, especially the modern advances that are both helping to better feed the world's people and better protect the environment and the missteps made as the sector has evolved and modernized. These involve concerns about environmental degradation, exposure to health hazards from food contaminants, and many other real and perceived problems, including increasing economic concentration across the value chain to the detriment of smaller family-oriented operations and rural areas.
