Description
With the inclusion of research theory and examples using the principles of cropping system design, students will gain a unique understanding
of the technical, biological, ecological, economic and sociological aspects of farming systems science for rural livelihoods. Editors
Snapp and Pound provide a much-needed synthetic overview of the emerging area of agroecology applications to transforming farming systems
and supporting rural innovation. The wide range of subjects, integrated references, and companion website, make this core reading for
courses in international agricultural systems and management, sustainable agricultural management, and cropping systems.
Audience:
Students of agricultural science, environmental engineering, rural planning; researchers and scientists in agricultural development agencies;
practitioners of agricultural development in government extension programs, development agencies, and NGOs
