This book argues that we can't make sense of population and food production without recognizing the drivers of three fundamentally different types of agriculture. It identifies and explores these three fundamental forms of agricultural growth: Malthusian (expansion), industrialization (external-input-dependent) and intensification (labour-based). Synthesizing findings from historical and scientific research, the book upends entrenched misconceptions such as that we are running out of land for food production, that our only hope is development of new agricultural technologies, that new technologies are developed mainly in response to food demands, and that such technologies saved a billion lives when they were brought to India and the developing world. Containing vignettes, short histories and drawing on global case studies, this book will not only be of interest to students and scholars of agriculture, land management and development, but also those more widely interested in learning about agri-food systems and the challenges of feeding a growing population"-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Also available online. 650 0 $a Sustainable agriculture. 650 0 $a Alternative agriculture. 650 0 $a Agricultural ecology. 650 0 $a Agricultural administration. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stone, Glenn Davis. $t Agricultural dilemma $b First edition $d New York, NY : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003286257 $w (DLC) 2022001157 830 0 $a Earthscan food and agriculture. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302014950.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4076D86A447311EDBB956A3F21ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
