Organic Farming Book

Organic Farming Hard cover - 747 pages Author: Nicolas Lampkin Organic Farming covers the principles of organic farming and the scientific base for them, making it clear that organic farming aims to rely primarily on biological processes and understanding of ecological interactions in preference to the use of chemical controls, organic or otherwise. In the second part of the book, organic farming in practice is examined, with particular attention to the market for organically produced food and the financial returns which organic producers can obtain. In the final chapter, the evidence on food quality and the evironmental impact of organic farming is reviewed, along with issues such as organic farming in developing countries and agricultural policy developments.
