Agriculture: A Very Short Introduction - Richard Brassley & Richard Soffe

How often do we think about the food we buy, and the resources that go into producing it? Do we understand what is happening in the fields that we see through the car or train window?

This Very Short Introduction explains what farmers do and why they do it. Paul Brassley and Richard Soffe consider traditional methods, soil management, and the impact of local and international markets, and the challenges agriculture faces today: climate change, animal welfare, and feeding a growing world population.
