This new edition builds on the explosion of research on sustainable agriculture since the late 1980s. By separating myth from reality, Miguel Altieri extracts the key principles of sustainable agriculture and expounds on management systems that really work.” Providing case studies of sustainable rural development in developing countries, he goes beyond a mere description of practices to include data that reveal the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of alternative projects.Each chapter of Agroecology has been enriched and updated with the latest research results from around the world. New emphasis has been placed on such issues as the ecological economics of agriculture, policy changes needed for promoting sustainable agriculture, rural development in the Third World, the role of biodiversity in agriculture, and new research methodologies.

Westview Press

This book incorporates new insights and concepts in the hope of helping guide agricultural students, researchers, and practitioners to a deeper understanding of the ecology of agricultural systems that will open the doors to new management options with the objectives of sustainable agriculture.

Agroecology: The Scientific Basis Of Alternative Agriculture (Westview Special Studies in Agriculture Science and Policy)

Habitat manipulation comprises biological control, crop rotations, crop diversity, flower strips, natural enemy refuges etc, and is a powerful tool for suppressing arthropod pest populations. It offers scope for farmers to avoid ‘high tech’ approaches, and reliance on powerful pesticides, and is the backbone of organic and traditional farming systems. This book examines the broad range of theoretical, methodological and applied approaches currently used, and captures state-of-the-art thinking by key international researchers and practitioners.

Those are not your grandfather's potato chips. 
As debate rages over the costs and benefits of genetically engineered crops, noted agroecologist Miguel Altieri lucidly examines some of the issue's most basic and pressing questions: 
* Are transgenic crops similar to conventionally bred crops? 
* Are transgenic crops safe to eat? 
* Does biotechnology increase yields? 
* Does it reduce pesticide use? 
* What are the costs to American farmers? 
* Will biotechnology benefit poor farmers? 
* Can biotechnology coexist with other forms of agriculture? 
* What are the known and potential environmental and biological risks? 
* What alternatives do we have to genetically modified crops?
