Providing the theoretical and conceptual framework for this growing field, Agroecology: The Ecology of Sustainable Food Systems, Second Edition develops the understanding of environmental factors and complexities affecting agricultural crops and animals. This second edition focuses on the entire food system rather than just the farm level. The text has been expanded to include the role of animals in sustainable agriculture, the cultural elements of sustainable food systems, and food systems that illustrate the elements of sustainability. With updated examples, case studies, new data on elements of sustainability, and a four-page full color insert, this book is an essential tool for students and researchers.
