The World Food Situation: Resource and Environmental Issues in the Developing Countries and The United States: Routledge Revivals

Autor Pierre R. Crosson, Kenneth D Frederick
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 feb 2017
At the beginning of the 1970’s, global grain reserves were level and food prices were low however as the decade progressed crop production plummeted leading to a food crisis. Originally published in the aftermath in 1977, Crosson and Frederick set out to explore the ability of agricultural output to meet the global food demands of future generations. This study analyses how resources and environmental factors would affect food production in developing countries and the United States until the end of the 21st Century. The environmental impacts of land levels, fertiliser and pesticide use are explored in relation to the challenges of meeting food demands. This title will be of interest to students of environmental studies.
