4.9/5 (31850 ratings)

Description:Rural America is struggling. The average farmer is now 57 years old. Family agriculture is gradually fading, and prime farmland is often converted into environmentally harmful applications. But foot cultivation has ecological consequences, too. Farms consume 80 percent of the nation's water. Although they often prevent sprawling development, improve water quality, or provide wildlife habitat, they also pollute rivers, drain wetlands, or emit destructive greenhouse gases.Don Stuart believes two dangerous trends - the loss of farms and damage to ecosystems - are connected, and that a major cause is the political deadlock between farmers and environmental activists. He offers a radical proposal: collaboration. To promote empathy and point out the costs of continued political impasse, he presents opposing perspectives.Topics include incentives, regulations, government spending, environmental markets, growth management, climate change, public lands grazing, and the federal farm bill. Drawing from multiple case studies and a lifetime spent settling conflicts, the author identifies characteristics of successful community programs to suggest a model for a prosperous, healthy future.The book is published by Washington State University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.RUNNING TIME ⇒ 6hrs. and 32mins.©2013 Board of Regents of Washington State University (P)2020 Redwood AudiobooksWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
