Journal of Sustainable Agriculture

http://www.haworthpress.com/store/product.asp?sku=J064

Publisher: Haworth Press

This professional journal is devoted specifically and entirely to the
rapidly growing field of sustainable agriculture. Published by Food Products
Press and edited by Raymond P. Poincelot, a leading scholar and author in
the field, the Journal of Sustainable Agriculture focuses on new and unique
systems in which resource usage and environmental protection are kept in
balance with the needs of productivity, profits, and incentives that are
necessary for the agricultural marketplace. It increases professional and
public awareness and gains support for these necessary changes in our
agricultural industry.

The journal examines our current agricultural industry and the threat to its
resource base. The goal is to promote the study and application of
sustainable agriculture for solutions to the problems of resource depletion
and environmental misuse. Unless these problems are resolved, our soil,
water, and energy resources will be insufficient to maintain agricultural
productivity very far into the future.

On the cutting edge of a growing environmental awareness around the world,
the Journal of Sustainable Agriculture features:

* articles on research
* innovative practices
* new technology
* IPM (Integrated Pest Management) programs
* organic farming
* energy use
* the economic, social, and philosophical aspects of sustainable agriculture
* conservations
* future projections.

The journal offers national and international coverage and features articles
on specific disciplines and interdisciplinary studies. Book reviews, News
Watch, announcements, Dialogue (positions, opinions, commentary, and
letters), and topical reviews round out the journal. It provides a broad
base of positive information about sustainable agriculture�a system that
will be able to meet the needs of future generations.

The Journal of Sustainable Agriculture is primarily for audiences in
agriculture�research scientists who work for the USDA and state agricultural
research stations, educators, extension workers, farmers, food and fiber
processors, students, as well as civic-minded citizens, planners and
policymakers, those involved in environmental or ecological activities, and
anyone with an interest in and a concern for agriculture.
