Description

The rapid increase in food prices in many countries has led to substantial media attention on agriculture. This publication (2008) will help uncover some key trade-offs that mean extremely challenging decisions for governments, farmers, consumers and industry. This publication does not attempt to cover everything there is to know about agricultural ecosystems. Rather, it tries to present well-documented facts and figures to better understand the challenges facing the sustainable management of agricultural ecosystems.
