tailieunhanh - Interactions Between Agroecosystems and Rural Communities

The idea for this book began over ten years ago through conversations with Clive Edwards, editor of an agroecosystems series of books. It was clear to both of us that the human intersect with the environment is mediated by social forces that are international, national, and local. But at that point there was little research to demonstrate the nature of the relationships between human institutions and ecosystems. | Interactions Between Agroecosystems and Rural Communities Edited by Cornelia Flora .
