SUMMARY
More and more farmers are adopting a diverse range of alternative practices designed to reduce dependence on synthetic chemical pesticides, fertilizers, and antibiotics; cut costs; increase profits; and reduce the adverse environmental consequences of agricultural production. Alternative Agriculturedescribes the increased use of these new practices and other changes in agriculture since World War II, and examines the role of federal policy in encouraging this evolution, as well as factors that are causing farmers to look for profitable, environmentally safe alternatives. Eleven case studies explore how alternative farming methods have been adopted--and with what economic results--on farms of various sizes from California to Pennsylvania.Committee on the Role of Alternative Farming Methods Staff is the author of 'Alternative Agriculture Committee on the Role of Alternative Farming Methods in Modern Production Agriculture' with ISBN 9780309039857 and ISBN 0309039851.
