Organic agriculture in the tropics and subtropics

More about the book

Compared with the knowledge gained and distributed in the northern half of our globe, information based on scientific work on Organic Agriculture is limited in the South. ISOFAR’s Tropical Series is foreseen as a stepwise extended source of knowledge that will serve scientists and teachers as well as students interested in the evolution of scientifically based Organic Agriculture in the tropics and subtropics. Volume 1 of the series provides an introductory compilation of various important issues that Organic Agriculture is confronted with in the South. Future volumes will be organized as theme books that focus on specific topics in order to develop strategies for improved environmentally sound agriculture approaches. Although expensive binding and production methods were used to insure the sustainable use and durability of this book, its price has been kept low to allow extended worldwide distribution and access.
